This book was quite boring to read, and put me off learning any flash for about 2 months. If I were you just try the help section in the software itself first (press F1). The tutorials in there have been far more useful to me than anything in this book.
All I can see this book being useful for is quick referencing.

Excellent Book!

Format:Paperback
I am sure there are those out there that are much more capable to analyze and write reviews for books. But coming from a guy who had absolutely NO IDEA about Flash 8, this did it. It went over what I needed to learn in pretty good detail. The only way I can think of improving this book would book be to add a supplemental CD with files to help aid and practice the concepts in the book.
This is not really a graphic intensive book. Apart from the occasional comic strip and awesome bullet points, it gives you tons of information. If you are not a reader, grab another version that has screenshots and supplemental CDs. If you just want to learn it straight and get through it as quick as possible, this is the book for you.
Good luck!

It doesn't tell you that you need Photoshop CS3 or better to get it to work for you in the animation phases.

Disappointed

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
This book never got down to the meat of the whole issue! We want to make flash movies. The very first chapter should be...let`s get down to business! Let`s make our first movie. You have to wait until Chapter 9 to finally get to really do anything. The first chapter was a tease to make you read until chapter 9. Not very nice. And still...chapter nine is missing so much. I am going to make my own Flash journal for my students. I am going to show them how to make a simple animation, how to add to it, make changes, tweak, add key frames and plain frames and show them the differences! Perhaps I should try to publish. Purchasing this book made me look like a dummy. Sorry to pan it so much but it is useless. This is the first book I bought from Amazon that I got on the case of. Sorry. There have to be better books on this out there for people that want to get into it and not procrastinate on it.Any recommendations?
