Summary: The Editor was Right -- Great Book!!
Review: The Amazon editor really hit the mark when he said this book shows you how to do everything in Flash. The online source files make it really easy to follow along with the step-by-step tutorials in the book. This book is not only a bargain compared to other flash books, it is chockfull of great tips. I would highly recommend this to anyone who is looking for a great Flash book.

Summary: HONESTLY A GREAT FLASH BOOK
Review: The person who wrote this book really does tell you how to do it all in Flash. The last half of the book has all sorts of tutorials you can follow along with. It dosn't come with a CD, which would have been nice. But you can get anything that would have been on CD off of a web site. A little inconvenient ,but I guess that's why it's half the price of the other books. Plus the files are small so they don't take long to download. Really good stuff. One of my better book investments.

Summary: Great Book
Review: This book is incredibly well written and informative. I was looking for something more substantial than the manual and I found it. This book is full of examples from basic Actionscript to things like preloaders. Easy to read. I would recommend it to the beginner-intermediate Flash user.

Summary: Best In The Batch
Review: This book is outstanding. As a Flash educator,it's difficult to wade through the myriad of books out there. I needed something that was step-by-step and intuitive and easy to read and follow and accomplish projects. This book does it all and offers a plethora of resources for source code, web sites offering much, much helpful information. The author wrote a sound, knowledgeable book that is easy to understand and use. These are the operative words!

Summary: a gem in a haystack
Review: This book is outstanding. Not only does the author write in laymen's terms but she also explains with detail those features of Flash which are most pertinent to the end user. It's easy to understand the functionality of this popular and powerful program in the hands of Bonnie Blake. Her graphics background clearly comes into play with this book and enhances the readability for those designers out there.Her style is easy-going and easy-flowing and her humor is injected in just the right places and right ways to make this heavy subject simple to digest and use. Thank you, Bonnie, for the gem that stands out as one-of-a-kind in the haystack of too many mediocre books written on Flash!

Summary: I think it does really say everything
Review: This book was really a pleasent surprise. It is very upfront and easy to read and packed with answers to questions I could not find anywhere else. And Flash is a subject that seems easy at first, but it'sreally quite complex. Bonnie makes the complex seem very easy. Especially in the Actionscript section. Instead of coming with a CD, you can download online files. The publisher could have made this a little easier to find, but once I found them, they were really great. Very helpful in totally understanding the concepts.I'd say this is a great book for any level Flash user. I highly recommend it.

Summary: The title says it all
Review: This is a superb guide for just about any level Flash user. I was worried that the title might be so much hype, but Bonnie Blake delivers. Somehow she manages to be technical and accessible at the same time, and that's a gift. Forget the manual; I really have learned to do everything I need to do in Flash 5 from this book. I do question, though, the publisher's choosing to post the tutorials online rather than on a CD included in the book. I found the process of having to download the files annoying. While I appreciate the savings in the cost of the book, I still would have preferred to have a CD that included some extras along with the author's files, and for the value of this book's excellent information, I'd have been happy to pay.

Summary: How To Do Everything with Macromedia Flash 5
Review: This is by the far the best book on the market today covering concepts that are clearly explained, with examples that precisely illustrate the "how to" and "why" things are done. It covers pertinent information for the avid Flash professional and makes for a handy reference manual, aside from the fact that it's a "must have" for the Flash beginner as well. This book is extremely well written and its coverage of the object oriented ActionScript is filled with examples that make its concepts easy to grasp. Finally, a book that sticks to Flash and isn't crammed with hundreds of pages of topics that have nothing to do with Flash or its concepts.
