Summary: The Monkey Butler Ninja Review
Comment: [...]

First of all I LOVE how this book is formatted. It says in the very beginning it is a `visual quick reference book' and that is about as accurate as my ninja throwing star ability. It also says in the same paragraph that it covers `basic to advanced Flash skills.' While this book will teach you a few things that would be considered `advanced' Flash is too powerful of a tool to cover baby monkey's to full blown ninja masters.

For fellow monkey's that are considered beyond beginner the first half of this book will be fairly review. You probably will pick up some very helpful hints in the later half and that will be worth the read.

Again I want to praise the layout. Fantastic job! Highly recommend it for people who consider themselves a beginner or lower intermediately skilled.

I rate it: 4 out of 5 ninja stars and a bunch of bananas.

Summary: Great menu explanations, missing troubleshooting info
Comment: As a web developer, I often have designers come to me with a Flash movie they have recently made. In my experience, sometimes their movie just works on the web, and sometimes it does not. I was hoping to understand why that is from this book.

The chapter on publishing Flash movies is well done. The page layout is nice and easy to read. The majority of the chapter is dedicated to explaining the different publishing options available from the menu. That was great instruction and now I will know some options to look at if I run into problems.

However, I was hoping for more information related to troubleshooting and some examples of common problems when publishing to the web. The designer who brought me the movie knows the design part of using Flash, and I know web programming, but it seems there is missing information in the middle that neither of us know. The designer expects me to know what to do because I'm the 'web guy.'

So, the book was good at explaining menu options, but I will have to look elsewhere for information about troubleshooting web publishing.

Summary: Pretty Cover
Comment: This is a good book for an absolute beginner who wants to make simple motion graphics.

I had trouble finding anything in here that wasn't in Flash 5 or MX.

Summary: Horrible!!!
Comment: For those of you migrating from Actionscript 2 to 3 DO NOT BUY this book. Willy nilly though out the authors mix in older code with new code. Has a chapter on behaviors that is no longer supported. There are much better books out there.

I bought it and returned it.
