1.0 out of 5 stars Laughable, June 18, 2008
As a flash programmer I bought this book based on my interest to deploy applications/games for the console (Wii).

I regret my decision ever since.

This book is ridiculous for any Flash programmer. Its a complete shame, it tours the reader through flash giving you almost no information about the platform we want to deploy. Just a simple flash guide.

The truth is, Wii flash support is very limited (as Adobe says), and the author is just trying to make some money without acknowledge this.

A plain example of this is the lack of controller interactivity. Although the editorial review speaks about "Integrate unconventional mouse and Wii controller interactivity", the book only tries to use the mouse positions and click's because that's all the flash supports in this platform. There's no official way of detecting the controllers button state or accelerometer info.

2.0 out of 5 stars ...but not really., July 17, 2008
By Al Saroukh (Las Vegas) - See all my reviews
I feel a little bit scammed. The title is true, but misleading. What it really is is an adequate introduction to programming in ActionScript. Then there is a brief description of how to sign up (as in "pay")for the Internet capability of the Wii, and the reader is directed to upload the game he or she has created and to play it online using the Wii.

Since I have been programming Flash games for years, I didn't need the instruction part. And the other part has just been given to you in its entirety above. I was hoping to know how to create a game I could burn to a miniCD and play on the Wii. Then I could use that knowledge in the course I teach on game programming in Flash.
