I just purchased this book based on the great accompanying website that saved me a lot of time during a recent project. The tutorials are well written and the examples include projects that solve real-world problems a Flash developer may run across on the job. This is more than a cookbook -- the authors take the time to explain how it all works under the hood while still getting the job done.

Whatever your level of proficiency as a Flash developer, this is a fun way to broaden your knowledge.

I think this a unique book on how to use Flash for mathematical educational purposes. The authors lead you step by step into the making of interactive math applications using Flash and Actionscript 3.0. By doing this you also learn how to use Flash in a more general way. I think this book is also suitable for a complete beginner. Of course, I don't mean somebody who never touched a computer but the average user of a normal home computer. A larger,companion website is available. The website does not only focus on the book but it extend it considerably. I recommend this book warmly to anybody interested in educational Flash applications and also to anybody wishing to learn Actionscript 3.0.

Earlier every time, when I see flash applets on web sides then I thought it is not my business to grasp but after reading and learning this book it seems to me that thing is on my finger tips away. And really it is worth to buy for those interested in flash animation. It is necessary that you should have fundamental knowledge of mathematics and science formulas. If you are in science or engineering faculty then sky is the limit for you.

Este si que es un buen libro, muy ingenioso! ademas me llego en buenas condiciones, muy recomendable

This if it is a good book, very witty! besides me get in good condition, highly recommended

Note that this book assumes you have a working knowledge of actionscript 3 and a certain level of mathematical knowledge, which is absolutely fine... not why I gave it two stars.

If I had the opportunity to view this book in the store I would've put it down once I found that for almost every subject, they refer you to their website for complete documentation. If I knew I could go to their website in the first place, I WOULD NOT HAVE HAT TO WASTE MY MONEY ON AN INCOMPLETE BOOK!

Now that I think about it, I'm giving it one star. Don't waste your time and money.
