• A Library Of Flash Mx Information
08 June, 2003
I cannot give less than 5 stars, Mohler did a phenom-job of writing this book. Every question that I asked myself while I was reading eventually was answered, usually within the next few pages. Also he provides information on bitmaps and audio in a detailed fashion (a chapter for each), which might[tick] you off, but there is a connection between those items and Flash, it's just harder to see when your inexperienced.Other than that it includes a CD-ROM with tutorials, which are helpful. And there is quite a bit of information on Actionscript, to get you familiar with it.It's a library of information on Flash MX, in which you can keep going back to for more books or videos, if you'd like to try your hand at some of the advanced tutorials for practice.

• Poorly Written And Edited, But Some Good Content
28 July, 2003
An author with a master's degree has the writing skill of a sophomore in high school. He uses the passive voice extensively, which makes understanding his instructions and recommendations difficult. A writer of a technical instruction piece should never use the passive voice because it is imprecise. He pads sentences with unnecessary words, uses split infinitives, and uses adjectives such as "which" as sentence subjects. He buries important points in long-winded sentences. While some of the content is very good, its organization is poor, particularly the chapter on Introduction to Action Script. Some of his exercises are useless. They merely instruct you to open a feature up in Flash and look at it. The Flash Help system is much better than this book.

• Should Have A "windows Only" Warning
31 January, 2003
While the book in itself is quite good, it seems to have forgotten that many Flash developers use Mac. All the screen shots are from the PC - and many of the examples on the CD did not work on my Mac OS X Powerbook (using Flash 6 player). The author spends a lot of time explaining the docked panel environment, forgetting (or at least not mentioning) that it is not available on the Mac version of Flash MX.If you use a PC, however, go for it.

• Stuck In Chapter 9
08 March, 2003
After trying to do an excerise in Chapter nine of this book 4 times, I threw this book in the trash and went to look for a better book. This book is a waste of time. I even looked for a web site with a correction, no luck just more books to buy.
