hiya Randy,


With all due respect, publishing a book is something you just dont get some

guys together

and do. The problem with most software "how to" books is that technology

moves so fast

that most books that try to keep up with the latest versions fall short of

really teaching anything

besides the basics of the software. Publishers of these books are usually by

far "masters" or "gurus"

of the book their publishing. What they are good at is collecting

information about the programs.

Some info from the net, some from people in the industry. Most from the

manual. The people

have the experience and connections to get the book out in a reasonable

amount of time.


Very little is from hands on. As you can see the publishers of the Flash

books to date dont have any Flash

work on the net. If you want to sift through gobs of  FLash tutorials and

technical info, then

theres plenty of it on the net. However a good "how to" book is usually very

helpful to those starting

out. It gives the basic fundaments, usually worded better than the manual

and actually helps a newbie

figure out what questions to ask. There are some great info sites on the

net, Flash Central is a good one.

Alot simply dont have anything more than posts from people usually babbling

about the same thing we babble about.
