Editorial Reviews

Product Description

As a Flex Developer you have an understanding of actionscript and may be called upon to handle the programming of Flash Projects. If you have been using Flex Builder to develop your Flex projects you may detest using the Flash IDE to do any coding. While there are many options that are better than the Flash IDE, Flex Builder is one that is made specifically for Actionscript Development.

I was really disappointed with this purchase. It contains no information that wasn't available freely on the internet or by following step by step tutorials provided by Adobe. The contents are

Introduction
Setting up your actionscript project
Using the flex debugger
Use ANT and JSFL to compile your FLA

Really, these contents only cover setting up and building a project. Nothing particular useful here.

From what I have seen in previews, Flash CS5 combined with FlashBuilder 4 will give much better integration than you can get through the ideas in this e-article.

As to the value of this book. How much do you value your time? If $1.50 should hopefully cover the cost of you not having to find the different articles on this topic and put the information together with some decent examples.

However, for any articles in the future what type of depth would you like to see? Topics?

Don't waste your time. This only half a dozen pages long and contains nothing that isn't extremely easy to find on the internet - for free. I hope the author is ashamed of this. If I were him, I would pull this - so called product.
