Editorial Reviews

Review

"People who have tried to learn the finer points of Flash on their own know how easy it is to be caught between the desire to simply tinker with the program and the need to understand its systems and complexities... The strength of Flash 5 Virtual Classroom is its excellent balance of the two... An outstanding reference for users at any level." --The Designers' Bookshelf, 5/01 (4 stars, Editors' Choice) "Dear Mr. Sahlin, I just wanted to commend you on your excellent publication... I plan to make your book the required text for my Fall 2001 classes as it is perfect for the beginner and intermediate learner." --James Graham, Asst Prof, Univ of Lethbridge, Canada "Out of 5 Flash books on my bookshelf, yours is my favorite." --Sara Choe, Designer "Doug, I just wanted to give my thanks! I am a 13 year old whom has gotten herself into the wonders of web designing. Your book was very helpful, especially since the colleges around my city allow only 16 year olds and up. Your steps were very easy to follow and prevented serious headaches! --Amber aka Soon to be webmaster" ***** "Best Flash Book I have seen. I wish I had owned this book as my first Flash book. It would have saved me so much time and money." --Amazon reviewer, 7/13/01 ***** "Video makes learning a lot easier This book comes with a CD that plays video on your computer...It's like watching over the shoulder of an expert. I am picking Flash up much faster than I ever would have and I hope that more computer books come with great videos like this one." --Amazon reviewer, 1/26/01

5.0 out of 5 stars Terrific Concept, August 19, 2002
By "expertedge" (Tulane MI) - See all my reviews
I picked up this book a few weeks ago after having struggled through Flash MX for the last couple of months. I am a graphic designer and I needed to hone my Flash skills. This book and CD were perfect in explaining things that seemed a bit obscure. I also purchased the MX Bible, which is okay for reference, but not for learning the application. I highly recommend this book/CD. The author has great style, wit, and the ability to make something complex seem easy. Now I wish he would do a virtual classroom for Fireworks, the next program I need to tackle!

5.0 out of 5 stars Great Beginning, September 17, 2002
I thought the layout of the book quite logical for a beginner. I'm glad the author doesn't speak fast otherwise it would be difficult to follow for a beginner. I worked through the books tutorials then used the CD. The movies really did help me actually see how to perform the tasks taught and each of the movies was task oriented. I highly recommend this book to anyone just learning flash and wants to do so in a no nonsense way. Gets right to the point and teaches what you need to begin and understand the basic concepts of Flash.

4.0 out of 5 stars A good book for learning Flash MX, especially videos, October 23, 2003
By Phil Lee (Minneapolis, Minn, Silicon Tundra, USA) - See all my reviews
As a Flash MX newbie, I was looking for actionscript for a hierarchical menu that can be moved around the stage. I was lucky to find one working in one of the lessons on the CD. However, I had to go to another of his books (0-7645-1637-X) in order to see what is in the custom component!

The QuickTime lessons are about 5 min long and are well produced and suitable for the topics for quick learning; watching the video clips is often faster and more lucid than reading the text. If you have them playing in the background, you probably can pickup some tips by osmosis ;-). I read this book at the local library. The author is well organized and a pleasure to read and watch his videos.

2.0 out of 5 stars You Could Do a Lot Better
Doug Sahlin may be a great Flash user, but he would do well to stay away from creating vocal narratives. Nobody can be good at everything, Doug. Read more

2.0 out of 5 stars Oh-hummm
Doug Sahlin's voice may put you to sleep on the CD-ROM. If you manage to stay awake, you will hear & see what he is doing but trying to duplicate it is another thing! Read more
