Summary: Great Book, for the little stuff...
Comment: I'm going to first preface this review by saying, if you are looking for advanced development techniques or samples of complicated physics or communication code, you will not find that in this book. People have come to expect any old book about Flash to cover anything and everything as well as provide working code samples specific to a project they may be working on at the time. This book, however, is aptly titled.
Flash MX 2004 Killer Tips has got plenty of little tidbits of information that will help to speed up your workflow, make you more familiar with the user interface, even help you out in times of crisis. The author's self-exhaling sense of humor makes the book fun to read as well.
Everyone should be able to take away something from this book, whether you are a seasoned Flash professional like myself, or a total n00b donning the self applied title of a "Flasher", there will be something in this book for you.
I'd recommend reading the Amazon sample pages if you are unsure, and if after that, you are still unsure, look for a copy to flip though at your local bookstore before purchasing on Amazon.com.
Final summation - the information inside is well worth the price.

Summary: Great for Beginners!
Comment: Flash MX 2004 Killer Tips describes itself as being a book that contains all the cool tips you would normally find in the margins of other, more in depth Flash books. The tips are mostly user-interface-related, often pointing out less known but useful features that will save you time and make common tasks easier.
The book is smaller than most Flash books - it's only 191 pages long, but the space is used well. On each page there are an average of four tips-take away about 20 or 30 pages for table of contents and index stuff and you that leaves room for quite a few tips-you do the math. It's all color and the paper quality, layout and design are commendable. The author takes a very casual approach to his writing, making the book very readable and even entertaining.
If you've been using Flash for a short amount of time, or if you're new to the software, this book will be useful to you. It's a quick crash course that will have you working efficiently from the beginning rather than learning everything by trial and error.
If you've been using versions of Flash previous to MX 2004 and already consider your self to be an intermediate or advanced user, don't expect to find too much new here. Most of what you'll find will be little things here and there that will improve your process, but a lot of the material covered in this book will already be familiar.
There are a few, but not many tips specifically related to Flash MX 2004-most of what is covered are features that were already available in Flash MX. None of the features in Flash MX 2004 Professional such as Screens or Forms are mentioned. There is a small section on ActionScript, but most of what is mentioned are fairly small (but useful) tips or tweaks to the interface to make coding simpler.
If you're new to Flash and/or looking for a quick way to bring your Flash skills up to par and to improve your workflow, check out Flash MX 2004 Killer Tips.
