Get this book!!!

I tried to learn flash first by reading the 'straight from the source' book. This didn't work very well. That book seemed to have been written for people who alredy know a lot about actionscript and html offering no apologies for the confusion to 'newbies'. So I picked up the H.O.T book and have learned twice as much in half the amount of time.. The author of this book is a true teacher and knows how to put an idea across in an easy to understand method. Thanks, I'm finally on my way to building great websites.. Mikeg

Clear and useful instructions

I have tried the lessions in Flash - I read Flash Quick Start - I played in Flash - but taking this book chapter to chapter - doing the lessions - it was like lights going off and now I get it!

I have not found any errors in the book - I am on page 439 out 765 for lessions and I enjoy the lessions.

So far the lessions are about things I would use on the web. I am a developer on the web 40 hours a week. I work with SQL, ASP and Photoshop along with some other programs like Corel.

I have read alot about Flash and for years I thought it was just a program that was used for animation, but it has come a long way - it now can be use to access a database - now I got some use for it - I plan on using it for charting and dynamic buttons. I bought this book after reading the reviews - I am gald I did - worth the money - worth the time - it is a keeper...

Started working on the web for a living in 95. I work for a LARGE Company on their internet. The applications I create use databases.

It comes with a CD that contains trial software and movies that demonstrate exacly how to perform certain tasks. It's easy to read and while the first few chapters are perfect for beginners, by the time you get to the end of the book, you'll be creating Flash presentations at an expert level.

Copy the CD-ROM exercise files from the book to a directory on your hard drive, turn off your phones, grab a cup of coffee, open FLASH MX, put this book on your lap and start feeding your brain.
