Reader Reviews
Yes, ladies and gentlemen, this is really happened and we upgraded from version 8 to CS3. This time Flash changed not only the version, but also an owner and now Bible with all reserved rights calls "Adobe Flash CS3 Bible". This is the first one, but I'm sure not the last one. This Bible goes with CD where you can find "original Flash project files with ActionScript code for example in the book, along with custom components for image loading and effects". I want to say that I have this book because of couple of reasons. First of all, I buy Bibles from year 2000 or 2001 and yet was never disappointed. All information was there, when I need it. Second reason is that I believe that book written by Robert Reinhardt just can't (no way) be bad. He writes Bible references from version 5 as far as I remember (correct me if I wrong). He wrote a couple of other Flash (and also ActionScript) books and honestly I don't remember bad reviews on it. Book has a lot of information, so no wonder it's big again: 1232 pages to be precise. For those who abscessed with clean white pages, nothing to worry about - it's clean and white. You will not be disappointed. Book covers different aspects of Flash CS3. What would you like to know or to do? - Create a Game in Flash? - Animate with ActionScript? - Integrate Flash Components with Web Pages? - Publish Flash Movie? This all and much more you will find in this book in every possible detail. All you need to know about Flash CS3 you will find inside. For people, who already have experience with Flash, this book will help to upgrade from Flash 8 user interface to Flash CS3 and find out new futures. Those who have no previous experience with Flash application, this book will be great start point and Part 5 will be just priceless. Of cause, you don't need to read book at once. You can use it mostly in two ways: as a desktop reference or as a study book. Whatever way you choose, you will not regret it. In one word, I just want to say that Robert Reinhardt is professional in this area and he knows what he's talking about. If you want to become a professional or at least be good too in Flash, you should look up to somebody who have much more experience that you (one more reason why I like this book). So if you want stay face-to-face with Flash and win, this book will help you a lot. As stands on cover "The book you need to succeed". Almost true, because you need not only book, but also wish to study and find out new horizons - then everything will be great! Success to everybody!
