Not For Dummies And Not For Beginners,
By Ancient Icon (California, USA) - See all my reviews
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Flash CS3 For Dummies (For Dummies (Computers)) (Paperback)
I'm a senior software developer who has four images the same size. I wanted to transition through the four images, morphing from each image to the next, and repeating this a limited number of times. I have never used the Flash product before. I spent 5 hours with this book one afternoon and after 5 hours I was unable to learn from this book how to do the simple task of morphing those four images. This is not a book that leads you by the hand. It is not a book for Flash Dummies. As one reviewer said, it is a book looking for an audience. Of the many technical books and the few Dummies books that I have, this book is by far one of the worst books for a beginner of a technology to think they can learn from. I'm sorry, but this is not a well done book and in the Dummies line of books, its one of their worst efforts. I'm returning the book to Amazon for a refund, because I believe its useless to me.

Who is the dummy?,
By
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Flash CS3 For Dummies (For Dummies (Computers)) (Paperback)
I agree with Ancient Icon, I am a senior developer my self, but this book did not help me at all, I tried the first example myself for few times, and I never got it right. I purchased this book to make simple banners and ads for my websites, however I could not learn anything from it. Publisher is telling about a lot what you can learn from this book, but non is true. At the end I asked myself who is the dummy? readers or writers?

animation on computers,

Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: Flash CS3 For Dummies (For Dummies (Computers)) (Paperback)
It gives some idea of the process of putting it into a format that can be used on the web, but I would suggest a live class to learn where to find the various menus and triggers to click.
