4.0 out of 5 stars Great Intro to Flash, December 12, 2002
By A Customer
This review is from: Macromedia Flash MX for Windows & Macintosh (Paperback)
As a new "web designer" i found that this book was not threatening like the other techy books. If you have no understanding of Flash MX this is a great way to start and I highly recommend it. If you plan to make simple animation this book has got you covered , but if your like myself you will have to purchase a few more books to make flash show its true colors.

This review is from: Macromedia Flash MX for Windows & Macintosh (Paperback)
I bought this book to go with a class I took in Web and Graphic Design. Everythign is layed out clearly in te book and its easy to follow and read. Most manuals are hard to read cover to cover, but this one youc an do that instead of just reading the section youa re trying to learn. The book is a great reference to have around when you are workign in Flash and can't rememeber some small thing.
