Summary: Good compliment to other books.
Comment: I've recently read six Flash books and this was the only one NOT specifically about coding games. This is for the 'designer' or non coding-types ^_^ And although initially I didn't really like it because I knew instead of following step 1, step 2, step 3, etc. I'd be writing events in ActionScript2 to move that movieclip around...I later after reading the other books had to look something up in this book and learned to appreciate it a bit more! :D

Worth the read even for programmers!

Summary: Not very quick.
Comment: I'm a huge fan of PeachPit's Visual Quickstart Guides.
They allow me to quickly learn how to use an app.

When Flash MX 2004 came I was supprised.
It is 3-4x times the size of a normal quickstart.
It has almost 700 pages.

It has some good info, but it not a quickstart. I'd have preferred a 150 page option. In my busy life it is just to daunting.

In PeachPit's defense, I'm sure the product description said it was almost 700 pages, I assume it was quick like the others I've purchased.

Thanks.

Summary: Great starter but a little thin
Comment: This VQS book gives a great high-level of a broad spectrum of functionality of Flash but does not go into much detail. Good starter book.

Summary: A good place to start
Comment: Adobe and Macromedia both write excellent software but both have two things in common - the lack of being user friendly and intuitive.
This book is a boon to those who are willing to put the time in to learn Flash MX 2004. The explanations are clear and the examples allow a user to actually create Flash projects rather than just reading about them.
Flash, itself, is a monsterous program, and so the book cannot cover everything - Flash scripting for instance is only touched on lightly but if you are looking for a book that will give you a solid beginning, this is a good place to start.

Summary: Great Experience
Comment: This book arrived on a timely manner and in real good condition. It was exactly what they said it would be in their description. Wouldn't mind doing business with them again in the future!
