How video and sound can be integrated into Flash!!
This book will do exactly what they said wasn't possible by illustrating how video and sound can be integrated into your Flash presentations, placing you at the extreme edge of creative web design. The application of such tools as AfterEffects, QuickTime, SoundForge and Wildform test the boundaries of Flash and suggest ways to take sound and video beyond Flash and into the realms of Shockwave. ...

Great Book for Beginner on up ....
I am a current animation student in California and Flash is one of the tools we are using. While I have developed some proficiency animating in Flash, the scripting tends to turn my brain to mush after a while. I picked up Foundation Flash 8 to learn some of the basics and have been using Foundation Actionscript for Flash 8 to gradually explore scripting. I am not a programmer but got through ...

Foundation Photoshop 6 0 - Excellent Resource
I've had Photoshop for over a year. I've spent most of that time being frustrated with the program. I bought Foundation Photoshop 6 a little over a month ago and am now learning in leaps and bounds. Foundation Photoshop 6 is truly excellent for beginners, providing easily understood instructions, explanations and exercises. With this book, anyone can learn to create amazing graphics. I ...

This book saved me time & $$!!!!
This book is more than worth the price (even without the 30% discount!) I totally disagree with the negative reviews. Sham is a very good writer, and makes learning Flash a fun experience. His book is geared to anyone who has a working knowledge of Flash5, and just wants to get up to speed on MX, and he states that plainly. This book is invaluble in exploring all the new features of MX. I'm ...

Title: Flash Hacks - 100 Industrial-Strength Tips & Tools Author: Sham Bhangal Publisher: O"Reilly ISBN: 0-596-00645-4 Pages: 452 pages Reviewer: Philip High Rating: 5 out of 5 stars When I encountered the first versions of Flash my impression was of an unnecessarily complex animation program with an obscure interface and REALLY WEIRD drawing tools. I've wanted to say that in public ...

Solid book for beginners
I am an animation student at Brooks College and Flash is part of the curriculum. One of the challenges of these intensive courses is that we cover so much material, so fast, that it is hard to get any depth before we are off to the next tool. I looked around the net for tutorials and other resources to supplement class materials and having had previous good experiences with this publisher I ...

Excellent book for all levels
First of all the authors of this book and the series of books they have written are brilliant, they have a great way of making even the most complex subjects very simplistic. This book starts off slow and in the very basics of flash and gets quite extensive towards the end, I believe they stop right at actionscripting for which there is a whole other book (quite needed!) I am (was) actually a ...

A programmers perspective
I am a former programming teacher and I have a style to teach my students the most UNDERSTANDABLE way to do something not just how to do it. This text/reference achieves that purpose. If you have an understanding of Flash (which you should have before getting into scripting see Weinman books) then this book will serve you well. There are other books on scripting - great books - such as Moock's ...

Foundation ActionScript for Macromedia Flash MX 2004
Mr. Bhangal's wonderful teaching style and excellent writing make this a truly easy and painless experience. Explained in plain english how to actually *do something* with action script. Great examples and analogies really drive the concepts home. I think its a big help that Mr. Bhangal is a designer and can speak to a person on a visual level. And, I had a question, e-mailed Mr. ...

Humble Beginnings
The reasons that the other reviewers found as cause for complaint about this book are the very qualities that I needed: Bite-sized lessons and lots of explanation. These are the things that were missing in my other Flash MX tutorial book (Flash MX Training from the source) that got me really stumped! I don't mind this humble approach at all. I didn't expect Foundation Flash MX to take me to the ...

A winner
Seems a little late to make a review ;) but I must say that this is an excellent book, of course kind of outdated now as many of the commands are deprecated now but what I love about FOED books is their commitment with teaching and they do it the right way! developing an application entire application from scratch guiding you step by step. FOED Books RULE!

Great Book!
I've got to confess that I bought the last version of this book (Flash MX 2004 Savvy), and I absolutely loved it. When I heard a version of the book was going to be published for Flash 8, I immediately ordered it. Its a perfect book for people who already have basic Flash skills, and want to get ahead. The ActionScript coverage is particularily good....complex topics covered simply.

Macromedia Flash MX 2004 Games Most Wanted

Nice physical effects
As a physicist, I immediately turned to the parts that incorporate physics. Like the friction of a billiard ball on a pool table. I grew up on Pong, and the rich texturing here is so amazingly removed from that! The discussions on how to collide two balls may not be fully correct to someone who had to deal with impact parameters in classical and quantum mechanics. But it suffices well in the ...

inspiring projects
This book has got eight chapters in it, and I've been through four of them so far and am really enjoying it. I bought it because WideGroup wrote one of the chapters and I saw the Sofake site on FlashKit featured site. It's great to see how their Flash files are built and yuou can get all the files for the book on the web site. I made the MP3 player which is great as I've been looking around for ...

Noooo! Please revise this book!
I must concur with the prior review, the final product, the result of very bad editing, is a disappointing mess. I am completely new to web design, and had bought Foundation Web Design because it covered not just HTML, but all the other essential elements of web design: javascript, cascading style sheets, Flash, etc. The editing is atrocious. What the reader is subjected to are elements of ...
