Macromedia Flash MX for Windows and Macintosh (Visual QuickStart Guide)

Summary: Full of errors
Review: This book is so full of errors or that they forgot to include crucial information in the examples that it's not funny. Right now I'm working with "controlling text-field scrolling," page 431, and the whole step by step tutorial doesn't work. What's worse, when you type the actionscript in the actionscript window in export mode as seen in the book, the syntax is full of mistakes. The program says the syntax doesn't work. So, they publish code that doesn't even work in Flash MX. What the hell is wrong here? And I've encountered several other mistakes in this book, which, in the end, is almost worthless. Don't buy.

Summary: Excellent resource!
Review: This visual quickstart guide functions both as a tool for getting up and running quickly with Flash MX and as a reference resource once you're working with the software. I highly recommend this book to beginner-intermediate Flash users.

Summary: WOAH! Flash!
Review: WOAH! I read this book and now I can make stupid animations of dancing monkeys! Seriously though, this is a big, thick, thorough book of Flash stuff. If you need to know it, it's probably in here. My only problem with it is that maybe it could be organized better. I have trouble finding some subjects I was needing help with.
