Flash 4 Magic (WITH CD-ROM)

Summary: Brilliant Examples of Flash, poor explanation
Review: This book is truly only for experts, as an experienced flash designer I was able to catch on to what they did to make everything work, but a novice or begginer flash users would have been completely lost. The book contains alot of examples of Flash eye-candy, but it does not explain how it is all put together very well. It sometimes even leaves out necessary steps to making the effect work, so you have to open the source for the effect contained on the CD and figure it out yourself. I was particularly disappointed in the lack of explaining the actionscript, which is basically why I bought the book. Overall, I'd have to say that this book contains amazing uses of flash, but it lacks the explaination on how to create the effect for yourself.
