Summary: Learn Flash MX with Ease
Comment: I am trying to learn Flash because I have heard all of the hype. I have built some pretty basic web pages in the past, but I am interested in creating more exciting content. However, when I got the software, I was basically lost. I just couldn't get a handle on all of the concepts. This book has been a great help. Everything is super clear, and the author organized the book in a very logical manner. I am really pleased with this book. Better yet, you can download all of the working files that the author created for the book.

Summary: Hit The Ground Running
Comment: I felt like such a latecomer to the "Flash party." Its ubiquitous use on the internet makes it an important technology to understand for web site design, and "A Beginner's Guide" makes it much easier to learn than I'd imagined it would be. The best tutorials give you the right information at the right pace, all neatly organized. This book meets that challenge and brings Flash down to an accessible level. Kudos to an author who got it right.

Summary: Some good stuff, but weak overall.
Comment: I am a java programmer, eager to learn Flash fast. This book was only slightly useful. I found the chatty style just long-winded and condescending.
Here's one example (p.56):"You're probably wondering just what the panel is, anyway. In effect, a panel is effectively what is known as a nonmodal dialog box. That is, a panel can be thought of as a dialog box that does not need to be closed."
In effect, this author needs effectively what is known as a good editor.
The later chapters on actionScript are particularly weak. Too much ink spent defining terms and listing actions out of context. I needed more worked examples. I found the built-in lessons in the Flash Help more useful than this book.
On a postive note, my tired old eyes really liked the large easy-to-read font used in this book. Why the heck do so many software texts have small fonts surrounded by acres of white space?
