Customer Review: Good reading and great reference. A huge book! Goes into detail about many aspects of CS3 and the Dreamweaver program. Helps solve those little problems that may crop up when designing a site or a page on a site.
Customer Review: This is, quite simply, one of the best books I have ever read concerning the topic of Actionscript. As an Adobe Instructor in the discipline of Flash, I often find myself looking for books as suggestive reading for new learners. This book has now become my #1 choice for professionals looking to... more info
Customer Review: I really like Colin Moock's work, his first book on Actionscripting, taught me how to program in Flash and was a great primer for learning scripting, The book on AS 2 was a bit duller to get through and not quite as informative, but it was still OK. This book however, is an absolute pain to get... more info
Customer Review: Overall I think this book is pretty good. I bought it to brush up on my flash skills, which had been sitting unused for about 5 years, and this book was perfect for getting me up to speed.
A few bad points:
-If you had little or no knowledge of adobe programs this book might be a little... more info
Customer Review: I have been a graphic designer for over 14 years. I eat, breath and sleep Photoshop, Illustrator and Quark XPress, and have worked with InDesign, DreamWeaver, FireWorks, Acrobat and similar tools of the trade. I've also worked with Flash to an extent, and that's the only real reason I believe I got... more info
Customer Review: I am moving through this book and very much appreciate the charts for reference, the clarity in his explanations, the repetition of important distinctions, and the repetition shortcuts throughout the exercises so that by the end of the book, you really can use the shortcuts. So far, I especially... more info
Customer Review: One of the most comprehensive flash references I have seen. Being an animator and illustrator for a small interactive company, this book gives you priceless tips and tricks on how to save valuable time and meet those never ending deadlines. Great job Chris. I'm sure all flash animators old and new... more info
Customer Review: In theory this book could have been very good. There were a few things that I did like about it. I liked the problem, solution, discussion approach to learning ActionScript. The book covered all of the topics I was interested in. It used real world examples to demonstrate the points. The... more info
Customer Review: If you're new to AS 3 and have some kind of OOP (Object Oriented Programming) experience in your past or none at all then this book is right up your alley...an experienced programmer may find this book a little simplistic. Anyway, I've always had a problem understanding programming concepts because... more info
Customer Review: Starting off with Flash CS3, I watched all the video tutorials available freely from Adobe. These are quite good, but they also tend to assume you already know Flash- either from a previous version or from the help tutorials (which aren't so hot). In most cases, they already have everything set up... more info
