Reader Reviews
I only agree with one of the reviewers below (the person from Virginia). This text delivers pretty much what it promises, or at least makes a pretty decent attempt. Each lesson is expected to be completed within a certain timeframe, which is usually less than two hours. For those who have some basic Flash 5 knowledge it is possible to follow them and complete them within the expected period without much trouble. The lessons are pretty simple, the writing is not necessarily the best (but then again, do not expect a book of this kind to be written in a flawless manner) yet it is easy to understand and friendly. It does have some flaws indeed, but the ease with which the lessons are presented, and the layout for the curriculum eclipse the minor errors. Those who have more of an intermediate experience with Flash should seek help elsewhere (Inside Flash from the New Riders would be possibly the best recommendation); the simplicity of this text will probably bore them. If you are, however, a newbie (or just lack the knowledge in areas like animation and other effects) this is a pretty decent way to get started. Learn the basics and then move on to the more exciting and complex tasks that this wonderful tool from Macromedia can create and deliver.
