Summary: Couldn't follow it
Comment: Looks and sounds like it might be a good book to learn actionscript, but like another reader, I was very quickly lost. How can you name a book "zero to hero", when the book doesn't start at zero? In fact it assumes you know stuff about actionscript, and then moves along way too fast with these assumptions. It just doesn't clearly explain actionscript. Find another book. This one doesn't make sense.

Summary: got me up to speed
Comment: I have only animated with Flash before, and had never really used much actionscript with my designs. This book really covered a lot, and explained it very easily. I read this thing in around 2 weeks, and feel I really understand what it is all about now. It doesn't assume anything of the reader, luckily for me!! If you want a book that is very clear and easy to understand, and is pretty funny too, I recommend this book highly.

Summary: Very Disappointed
Comment: I was very excited to read this book after browsing the contents at the bookstore. But when I tried to follow along, I was lost. I only got through chapter 2 and I couldn't get the example tutorials to work. I am not a Flash Beginner, so I don't think that was the problem.
Unfortunatly, I am returning this book. I felt lost within the "fast paced tutorials" and I couldn't understand how the code was supposed to work. I felt like some additional explanation was missing.
I am a tutorial writer myself, and I know how hard it is to write, so I feel bad for giving a bad review.
