A Library of Flash MX Information

I cannot give less than 5 stars, Mohler did a phenom-job of writing this book. Every question that I asked myself while I was reading eventually was answered, usually within the next few pages. Also he provides information on bitmaps and audio in a detailed fashion (a chapter for each), which might[tick] you off, but there is a connection between those items and Flash, it's just harder to see when your inexperienced.Other than that it includes a CD-ROM with tutorials, which are helpful. And there is quite a bit of information on Actionscript, to get you familiar with it.It's a library of information on Flash MX, in which you can keep going back to for more books or videos, if you'd like to try your hand at some of the advanced tutorials for practice.

Should have a "windows only" warning

While the book in itself is quite good, it seems to have forgotten that many Flash developers use Mac. All the screen shots are from the PC - and many of the examples on the CD did not work on my Mac OS X Powerbook (using Flash 6 player). The author spends a lot of time explaining the docked panel environment, forgetting (or at least not mentioning) that it is not available on the Mac version of Flash MX.If you use a PC, however, go for it.

Wrong Shipping Time

Note that even though it says 2-3 days shipping, and has for at least the last 2 weeks, the real shipping time is 4-6 weeks plus the week it takes them to get around to sending you that notice.

Great Intro to Flash

I'm extremely new to flash. I picked this book up about 10 days ago, and I can really say that if you've never worked with flash, give this book 10 days (off and on) and you'll start to see the possibilities. Which are really quite vast. I plan on picking up his next ActionScripting book as well, we'll see if he can stay on his game. But this book is a great teaching tool. I can't see flash pros using this because the pace of the book is relatively very slow. This is no 'crash course'. If your new to the world of flash, this book is the way to go.
