3.0 out of 5 stars
Mediocre, Uninspired,
By Don Blohowiak "Lead Well® Institute" (Charlottesville, VA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Flash 5 Visual JumpStart (Paperback)
After reading the entire book and doing the exercises, I, with no prior Flash experience, was able to produce an intial, flawed Flash movie. But compared to the Dummies book (which I wish I had started with), this one has a paucity of examples (and like the writing style, impress as pedestrian).Surprisingly, this book spends way too much time on drawing fundamentals ("let's draw a house" -- why?!), and details every menu choice with precious little in the way of context, examples and application. More a dictionary than a story. The Glossary was helpful, but I found the green type and green illustrations used throughout the book to be eyesores. And the very few sample Flash movies on the CD struck me as overly cutesy in concept--while being neither attractive nor imaginative--and more annoying than inspiring....

The Grade school guide to Flash 5,

This review is from: Flash 5 Visual JumpStart (Paperback)
Flash 5 Visual JumpStart is a pretty good beginner's book for Flash 5. It teaches the basics like a high school text book, which may be too basic for professionals. My biggest issue with the book is the quality of the samples. They seem thrown together by a person with little artistic skill and a large collection of clip art. The color samples in the middle of the book are very amateurish, and I just can not see how anyone would be inspired by them.If you are a beginner, have poor eyesight and want to learn Flash from scratch, this may be the book for you. Professionals should stick to other Flash books.

Not recommending this book,
By Mazinga Jaji (Brooklyn, NY USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Flash 5 Visual JumpStart (Paperback)
this book looked easy to understand at the bookstore. but the truth is only the fonts and green icons are easy to view. its content is below average and many terms are explained like a substitute professor with little bit of understanding teaches at a college. Check this book instead; Macromedia Flash 5 Design: From Concept to Creation(ISBN: 0761527524)
