Step By Step Rewards

As a teacher in Multimedia/Art at Ventura College, CA, I review and use many books as reference. Flash CS3 Professional by Todd Perkins is a step by step tutorial to a total creation ending. The fact that this "Hands on Training" under the auspices of lynda.com/ Peachpit Press is accompanied by lynda.com training videos, makes a coordinated package for the individual learner or a classroom environment. Each chapter is illustrated with examples and tips, a valuable reference for Flash enthusiasts, animators and web developers alike. Too bad the books fall apart!

great intro

I am moving through this book and very much appreciate the charts for reference, the clarity in his explanations, the repetition of important distinctions, and the repetition shortcuts throughout the exercises so that by the end of the book, you really can use the shortcuts. So far, I especially appreciate the in depth explanation of blending modes, that I have never found in any of the other adobe introductory books read to date.

Decent book for someone new to Flash

This book is a little on the easy side, I would have enjoyed some more challenging examples and tutorials.

MOST EXCELLENT

Most Excellent flash textbook I have used. This is not the first Flash class or Flash textbook I have used, but this is the best one. Very good instructions, very clear. Illustrations are great also. Would definitely recommend this book to anyone.

Great for first time flash users

This one of the better flash books I have ever seen. I was a little afraid to buy this book after reading some reviews about its binding and how the pages are falling out, but they sure have fixed that problem since I received my copy. It really gives a great incite and alot of great sort cuts and tricks to really up your level as a flash user. I bought this book because my flash class at school was a stinker and I needed something to help really grasp the program and this book does it. If you want to learn flash I recommend this book!!!!
