'..[Animating with Flash MX] sets itself apart by drawing on other apps - such as Poser and Swift - in the creation of Flash movies, and also by demonstrating how to tailor delivery to both Web and non-Web platforms.' Cre@teonline -- Review

Customer Reviews & Comments This book is a complete and utter disappointment. Nothing is explained well, you are just told to "do this" and then "do that". Typos everywhere as well, and in the places where you really don't want to have typos- the instructions. Many of the things you are told to do are just flat out wrong- leading to extreme confusion and frustration in the various project steps. I had to give up on this book because the examples don't even work when you follow the directions. That and I absolutely hate those Ellen and Zak kids, the examples in every chapter. BUT I did find a great book that I recommend 100% for people new to Flash. I was comfortable with Flash animation after working through the first couple of chapters in "Macromedia Flash MX 2004: Hands on Training" by Yeung and Weinman. I recommend that book extremely highly, and I recommend you search it out and buy it immediately. Forget about this other crummy book.
