I'm a competent programmer, but completely new to Flash. This book was incredibly frustrating.
* The whole premise of working towards a completed Bookstore application didn't work.
* The lessons aren't logically structured - the things you do in the first chapters don't get completed until lessons half the book later - so most of the time you aren't sure what you have done or whether it works or not.
* Some of the example code didn't work.

I've got the TFS book on Actionscript staring at me from the bookshelf, and i'm wondering whether to even open it....

This book follows the design of an entire website using Flash. I would question the wisdom of this approach because other technologies are much more suitable for site development. Most developers like myself are looking for a book that will help them understand animated graphics. Because the author wants to create all the elements for this site using Flash, many of the examples are more complicated than they should be, and the learning process takes much longer than it should. By page 140 I had decided to abandon the project and ordered a different title.

This is the worst book ever published for Flash. I'm a student and I bought this book only to regret it. This book only shows you how to create a site that has been "ideally" created. One of those blue-peter style "heres one I made earlier" type things. When you start to want to do things more in your own style, everything goes wrong. I suggest something more in-depth like the Demystified series.

Ideal book for beginners & first-time users
I am a first-year student studying Multimedia Design, and I needed to become more fluent and comfortable with the Flash MX interface in order to get the best out of my coursework. Read more

training from the source?
I managed to get about halfway through the book before I consigned it to the waste paper basket. For a beginner it is just not worth it. Read more
