Product Description

This project-based guide from Adobe will teach readers all they need to know to create engaging interactive content with Flash CS3. Using step-by-step instructions with projects that build on the knowledge learned in each lesson, readers will learn the key elements of the Flash interface, including panels, timelines, and frames. From there, readers will learn how to work with vector and bitmap graphics; create and edit symbols; modify text and add interactivity with ActionScript 3.0; and incorporate animation, music, and sound to their projects. They'll also learn how to prepare and export their finished projects for Web and broadcast. Of course, readers will also learn how to take advantage of the new features of Flash CS3--the streamlined user interface, native support for Photoshop and Illustrator files, revamped drawing tools, new video encoding features, code editing enhancements, and much more. The companion CD provides users with all the sample files they need to complete all of the projects.

Educational instructor notes—created to help teachers plan, organize, and time their lessons—are available for this book (and for other Classroom in a Book titles) at www.peachpit.com/instructorresources.

1.0 out of 5 stars Waste of time and money, June 18, 2007
The lessons in this book are poorly planned and many times in each lesson I was left wondering what to do next, or worse yet, why I was doing something. The lessons take a lot more time than advertised, and many don't get you to the end result. I agree with many of the reviews here - except the one that looks like it was written by the publisher. I can't recommend any other books, but I sure can tell you that this book isn't any way to learn Flash. I bought three of these class room books and the only one worth anything is the photo shop book.

1.0 out of 5 stars Horrible exercises take too long, July 9, 2007
By Emily Woods (Dallas, TX) - See all my reviews
I feel like I've been spinning my wheels and going nowhere. After spending all day trying to work through the first part I gave up and figured I needed a fresh start. Today the lessons still didnt work and I even had a friend try to help me. Didn't anyone try these before they printed it? I feel like a guinea pig.

2.0 out of 5 stars Wait for the revised version, August 28, 2007
By MystressM "MystressM" (Vancouver, BC Canada) - See all my reviews
I spent hours struggling with this book because it was an assigned text book at my school.

I am pretty sure that they are missing critical steps in this book.There is no way I can repeat their lessons this many times and still not get the expected result.

This book will probably work if you need a bit of a brush up, but if you are a complete newbie like me - and can't deal with errors and problems wait for the revised version.

As far as I'm concerned the book is very poorly edited and probably hasn't been beta tested on novice users.

I've used the Classroom in a Book series for Photoshop & Illustrator and they were great so I was expecting to be a fan of this one as well.
