4.0 out of 5 stars Tried another, October 19, 2007
By SuJun (Tennessee) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Flash CS3 Professional for Windows and Macintosh (Paperback)
Programming/scripting is not natural for me! It is hard work. This is the third book on AS 3.0 I've tried. The other books did not work for me. I need a book that will tell me what to do in a very elementary manner. I can then put it in context. For example:

1. This is how you script interactivity in a button (code)
2. This is what it is doing
3. This is what the various segments of code mean
etc.

This is the way I learned HTML. I looked up the code to do a given item. Over time if morphed into a thorough understanding of what HTML is and how to do it. This book enables me to do something similar. It takes basic AS 3.0, shows you how to do it then gives the information so you can put it in context. I'm relieved and grateful to find a book that allows me to construct the learning in a way that best fits me. THANK YOU!

4.0 out of 5 stars Great for starters. Don't let the name fool you., December 3, 2007
By Casey Frick "www.frickdesign.com" (Saint Augustine, Florida) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Flash CS3 Professional for Windows and Macintosh (Paperback)
I love the Visual QuickStart Guides. This book has easy to follow lessons which are great for beginners. Professional refers to the more robust version of Flash not the skill level of the reader. I have combined this book with some video tutorials which is ideal for learning actionscript fast.
