I took a look at this book and found that it really wasnt any more helpful than the proggy's

manual, especially for the

intermediate to advanced user. Although I did not have a chance to load the CD that comes with the

book It really wasnt anything more than a glorified manual. I found the interactive tutorials that

come with Flash3 the most pactical for learning FLash2/3.


Of course Im always skeptical about third party published books, They seem most of the time to be

the manual that comes

with the software, just in differently worded and maybe a few extra basic tuts and tons of clipart

that I dont recomend using on a professional project anyway. I would have been more interested if

the book was almost nothing but advanced step by step tutorials and techniques rather than just

re-explaining the software and telling what it can do, which is what it seems Ken's

book did.
