This is a valuable addition to the Missing Manual series. This edition, like many others in the series, is best utilized by its owner by the hands-on, doing-is-learning approach. Anyone who has used Flash in the past may find the book simplistic in parts. First-time-users of Flash will probably find this manual too intimidating.
Whatever your knowledge and interest in Flash, owners of this manual will get the most out of their purchase by downloading the sample files to practice what is preached. The index and tutorials are of great assistance in learning to use just some of the capabilities of the software program, Flash CS4.

I didn't think this was nearly as informative or enjoyable to read as most of the other Missing Manual series that I have read. In fact, I found that I needed to do a lot of research elsewhere after reading it to really get a grasp on anything slightly more complicated in Flash.

This book has saved my sanity. No more intense summer school courses. What was I thinking? I haven't seen my friends and family in 7 weeks! LOL
