Buy it!


There's nothing like cranking through 21 Flash projects (15 utilities, 6 games)

(I admit I've just started), where you have (1) clear step-by-step instructions

and (2) all the artwork (cool) already provided, to drag you kicking and

screaming through a Massive Flash Education!


The first ActionScript learning comes on page 20, 2nd project. Here's the code

involved:


Stop

If (password eq "Open")

        Go to and Play ("Good")

Else

        Go to and Play ("Bad")

End If


The book takes off from there. Eight page appendix detailing ActionScript

commands and syntax, with lotsa guidelines and hints and tips that "the authors

... learned ... the hard way: by trial and error".


Scott Hamlin (one of the authors) is a genius when it comes to clearly

expressing how *and why* to do things. He wrote *Effective Web Animation* a year

or so ago ... another excellent book.


HTH,
