5.0 out of 5 stars good illustrated how-to, June 21, 2003
By A Customer
This review is from: Flash ActionScript: Your Visual Blueprint for Creating Flash-enhanced Web Sites (Paperback)
This book is similar to Thomson Learning's Illustrated Series, where you have one topic simply explained with how-to steps on 2 facing pages, including illustrations. No lengthy explanations, not an intro book, you'll have to explore basics or "why" elsewhere; you just get the basic steps to do the task. And since that's what the authors intended, I give them full stars for achieving it with a book that's clear and concise.
