This is a great book for a novice user. Easy to learn alot really fast beacuse of its easy to follow screen shots and good examples. I recommend that advanced users STAY AWAY! You will not be happy. Great for the visual learner..... Graphic artists that want get into animation... this is a good beginning.

5.0 out of 5 stars It's not just fast and easy--it's funny, too!, November 28, 2000

This book is great! Most computer books are so boring and dry, but this one has a sense of humor and is just as easy to follow. This book cuts right to the chase and gives you the realistic information that you need to know. But presents that information in a way that you can deal with, and actually learn from. It's a good one. Get it!

This review is from: Flash 5 Fast & Easy Web Development (With CD-ROM) (Paperback)

I find this book to be a great intoduction to Flash. It's not for advanced users, but I'm glad there is book aimed at us novices. I keep it on my desk and refer to it all day long. There is a sense of humor to the writing and the examples and lessons are great step-by-step tutorials of the kinds of things I wanted to learn how to do. It's very useful in trying to understand what Flash can and can't do and it has a lot of good information about planning a Flash project and what you will need to think about for the final Flash movie file. The only weird thing is that the book is about Flash 5 but it comes with Flash 4 on the CD Rom. You'll have to buy Flash 5 or download a trial version from Macromedia since versions 4 and 5 are substantially different. The book won't help you if you only have Flash 4.
