Fireworks 4, a tool for creating graphics and interactive elements for web pages, works well with other Macromedia tools like Dreamweaver and Flash. Like other authors in the "Visual QuickStart" series, Cohen does an excellent job of distilling topics. Whether discussing optimizing graphics or creating rollover effects, her book addresses the issues in a concise manner, which makes it useful for even experienced users. How To Use provides a very graphical reference for the newer user. Both of these titles are recommended, given the popularity of web animation tools, but Cohen's book will probably have a longer shelf life.
