Macromedia Flash MX Advanced for Windows and Macintosh Visual Quickpro Guide [With CDROM]

One of the best books around. You'll get more than your money's worth!

I have been a flash designer for over 4 years. But this book hits the spot for anyone who wants to advance their intermediate flash skills, to professional flash skills. For example, if you are sick of all the advanced internet tutorials written for Flash 5, get this book. This book covers flash MX's new actionscripting syntax fully. That way you do not get confused looking at old source files. These source files are NEW. I may already know Flash, I may not know how to spell, but I highly recommend this book.

Let me start off saying that I was just into graphics and animation, but not heavily into the programming part of Flash. I was uneasy about the "advanced" title of this book, but after getting into it, the author doesnt just assume you know all and steps right into the hard stuff, he walks you through step by step with illustration and examples. It even uncludes tips and common mistakes to look out for as side notes. It really covers a lot of topics for the intermediate flash users and some for the advance Flash users. If you have been using older versions of Flash and would like to get updated, this book is definately the way to go. If you are one looking to learn action scripting, this is a good book as well. (The second half of the book really goes into advance action scripting)
