 Useless intro to Flash CS3 Pro April 13, 2008
1 out of 1 found this review helpful
This book suffers from a very misleading title. It does not show you how to use the new actionscript 3 wich would be the point for a quickstart with Flash CS3 Pro, since that is the big new thing w CS3. Instead it is obviously a re-hash of an old book showing actionscript 2 wich is for Flash 8 or older. Why use CS3 Pro at all for oldstyle S2? Might as well stay in using Flash 8 then. A complete waste of money if you want to learn CS3. Very disappointing!
 Too many errors and presumptions December 11, 2007
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
I had the first book from David Morris "Creating a web site in Flash 8" I found the book to have errors, some parts worked others did not do what they were supposed to do. I thought the second book may be different, it is just a very slightly different take on the first book. There are errors that throw you off, presumptions and many mistakes on the short cuts for Mac computers ( I think by the screen shots that he uses a PC). I would recommend Flash CS3 Professional Hands on Training by Todd Perkins. This has clear and precise instructions on how to get to grips with Flash, which, is a very complex application.
 Great intro to a wide range of facilities but you need to be patient! December 4, 2007
This is a great book to give you a flavour of what Flash can do for you and you can learn from it but not enough to go and do similar things yourself! It took me around 5 attempts to get right through the books instructions as the slightest wayward keystroke means you get off track and can never get back! Save it after each successful bit of progress (I ended up with about 20 files eg page50, page65 etc!). Take your time and it does make sense and you'll be amazed at what Flash can do and what a remarkably cheap book can show!
All in all a great way of seeing a wide range of Flash abilities.
A waste of time - buy the QuickStart guide instead November 9, 2007
6 out of 7 found this review helpful
I thought that reading this book would provide a good introduction to Flash but I found it pretty much a waste of time. You cannot learn very much from a book like this because you really need proper detailed explanations of the features and concepts involved, which only a more detailed reference style book can provide. I gave up with the book half way through and bought the Visual QuickStart Guide from the same publisher which I am finding to be excellent. I had no experience of Flash before buying these books - the QuickStart guide is easy to follow and perfectly suited to a novice.
 A perfect Introduction for beginnners August 14, 2007
13 out of 14 found this review helpful
This book makes an excellent job of acquainting a new user with Flash cs3. With the help of the downloadable content, you work through the book step-by-step until you've made a fully functioning flash website that implements a broad range of multimedia i.e forms, imported video, sounds, dynamic lettering etc.
As someone who is extremely computer literate but somewhat ignorant of web design software, working through this book allowed me to physically see the effects that each instruction was having - giving me much scope to play around with things and thus allowing me a deeper insight into the workings of Flash than through a dry reference-type book.
This is NOT a reference book, and isn't likely to be of interest to anybody who has used Flash before - but to the beginner, it's the perfect introduction - 90% practical and 10% theory (and very cheap).
