Product Description
Creating web designs and site content in Macromedia Flash MX can be a lot of fun, but there are always tasks that you'll want to do again and again. It's always a bit of a hassle to have to keep recreating and tweaking the same old content or functionality in different projects, so why can't you just reuse what you've created? With components, you can do just that! Flash MX Components enable the creation of self-contained design building blocks that can be simply dragged and dropped into any Flash movie. They are flexible enough to be easily customized to take care of many different tasks. No fuss, no bother - you can repurpose the standard elements of your design, application, or game, and use them over and over again. But wait, it gets better! Components can be used by anyone, not just the person who created them. So in this book, weve done all the hard work for you and collected together the Most Wanted components that will make your life easier. In this book (and on the CD) youll find a perfect combination of creative and functional components from some of todays leading Flash designers and developers. Just look at the fantastic components you get: - Event Calendar - Text Editor - News Feed - Tool Tip - Sketch Pad - Video Player - Image Scroller - Pattern Generators - Tab Control - Sliding Panel - Color Picker - Game Player Selector - Particle Emitter - Layout Manager - Data Grid - Movie Loader - Image Modulators - XML-to-ActionScript Converter - Virtual 3D Trackball - Text Animation - Dynamic Text Manager Each of these components is included on the accompanying CD, ready to incorporate within your designs, along with plenty of example files giving practical demonstrations of their use. On top of that, each chapter in this book presents a comprehensive designer-oriented guide that will help you to get the most out of using all of the featured components. If youre a Flash designer, of any ability from novice to professional, this book will increase the power of your Flash designs and enhance your project workflow &emdash; instantly!
Publisher Description
This book is for experienced Flash users and novices alike. That is the beauty of Flash components, they are so easy to use that those who are fairly new to Flash can use them to create movies that would ordinarily be out of their reach, whereas the more experienced designer can use them as great time-saving tools, cutting the time needed to create their applications and improving their productivity.

Customer Reviews & Comments
This review is from: Macromedia Flash MX Components Most Wanted: Ready Made Drag 'n' Drop Design Solutions (with CD ROM) (Paperback)
"Flash MX Components Most Wanteed" is targeted towards designers and those that shy away from ActionScript. The book focuses on explanations of how to use each of the components -- not how they were created or the design choices made while building these sometimes extraordinarily complex components. Many of the components contained on the CD are quite useful, but I personally could have done without the "nifty graphics" and image manipulation components. It's nice to have detailed explanations of each of the available component parameters (kind of like a product manual), but the book left me wanting more about the hows and whys of creating solid, useful Flash MX components.
