Book Description
Leading Flash experts, Reinhardt and Dowd, have revised this best-selling and well-reviewed Flash title to cover the very latest release of Adobe Flash. It will continue to fill the need for a user-friendly, yet in-depth book that appeals to both the web novice and the accomplished web worker, and will function as their guide to the workings and capabilities of this powerful program. The accompanying CD will include add-ons, plug-ins, shareware, templates, and examples. This next edition will cover all that is new in Flash, including -
* The Flash Professional 9 ActionScript 3.0 Preview allows you to compile .fla files that contain or import scripts written in the new ActionScript 3.0 language.
* Document Class--Flash Professional 9 ActionScript 3.0 Preview introduces the new concept of a document class, which is a class definition that is associated with the main timeline.
* Symbol-Class Linkage--Linkage Identifiers are no longer needed in ActionScript 3.0. Instead, you can specify a class name for a library symbol which can then be directly instantiated dynamically to create instances of that symbol.
* Errors and Warnings--There are two additional options for ActionScript 3.0 errors and warnings, which can be toggled in the ActionScript 3.0 Preferences.
* Class Path--You can now have other definitions besides classes in external files, such as functions or namespaces.
* Language and Player API Changes--This release includes many changes to the ActionScript syntax and the classes and functions provided natively by the player, which will require reference to the supplied documentation and ActionScript Language Reference.

Most Helpful Customer Reviews   1 of 1 people found the following review helpful: excellent but out of date, 6 Mar 2008 By  T. Izard "The flasher" (Essex) - See all my reviews    I recently finished reading this and enjoyed every minute of it, it is a very good book in how it explains how to do things in the visual way in Flash CS3 and using AS 1.0 & 2.0. But this is where it falls short. There is hardly any AS 3.0 scripting so essentually it is great but flawed. If it was all AS 3.0 you wouldn't need any other book. But, I find myself reverting to other sources of AS 3.0 training I have done before this book. As for the accompining AS 3.0 bible (is this maybe why only AS 1 & 2 in this book?) it is very minimal in its explaination and lacks any decent examples in its coverage of AS 3.0. Look at the Lynda books. Id give this book 5 stars for its tutorial of using Flash CS3 and AS 2.0 but 1 star for its tutoring of AS 3.0. Overal still worth having in your collection at the price.  Comment | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you?

Wang - See all my reviews    Almost 99% content in this book are basen on AS 1.0 and AS 2.0 !!!!! If you are looking for books about Flash CS3 and AS 3.0, don't buy it !!!!  Comment (1) | Permalink | Was this review helpful to you? (Report this)   Masterpiece from Professional, 22 Mar 2008 By  Lana - See all my reviews Yes, ladies and gentlemen, this is really happened and we upgraded from version 8 to CS3. This time Flash changed not only version, but also an owner and now Bible with all reserved rights calls "Adobe Flash CS3 Bible". This is the first one, but I'm sure not the last one. This Bible goes with CD where you can find "original Flash project files with ActionScript code for example in the book, along with custom components for image loading and effects". I want to say that I have this book because of couple reasons. First of all, I buy Bibles from year 2000 or 2001 and yet was never disappointed. All information was there, when I need it. Second reason is that I believe that book written by Robert Reinhardt just can't (no way) be bad. He writes Bible references from version 5 as far as I remember (correct me if I wrong). He wrote a couple of other Flash (and also ActionScript) books and honestly I don't remember bad reviews to it. Book has a lot of information, so no wonder it's big again: 1232 pages to be precise. For those who abscessed with clean white pages, nothing to worry about - it's clean and white. You will not be disappointed. Book covers different aspects of Flash CS3. What would you like to know or to do? - Create a Game in Flash? - Animate with ActionScript? - Integrate Flash Components
