Book Description

Users new to the software as well as veteran users unfamiliar with added features need quick access to key features and fundamental techniques. Adobe Flash CS4 Professional: 100 Essential Techniques provides users with what they need to know to start working in Flash. Each technique is presented in a self-contained unit of one or two pages so users can dive in and start working right away, unencumbered by lengthy descriptions or technical detail. For example, if readers want to know how to use Flash's QuickTime export feature, they can turn directly to that page, quickly grasp the technique, as well as pick up a few tips along the way.

This review is from: Adobe Flash CS4 Professional How-Tos: 100 Essential Techniques (Paperback)
This book is WEAK. Get one in the top 100 series or the learn visually series.

2.0 out of 5 stars just OK, July 10, 2009
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Adobe Flash CS4 Professional How-Tos: 100 Essential Techniques (Paperback)
By its nature this book is somewhat disjointed. It's OK as a starter for some very basic techniques but not great as a reference. It is not well indexed.

3.0 out of 5 stars Book for Newbies, May 12, 2009
This review is from: Adobe Flash CS4 Professional How-Tos: 100 Essential Techniques (Paperback)
I was expecting more in-depth "how-tos" and definitely more on Spry. Save your money and buy the Flash Bible instead.
