Greg,

I can understand your frustration but I have yet to find one Flash book that
DOESN'T have errors. And don't knock the author, have you ever tried writing
a book? I am sure after a couple of months the content starts to blur
together, unfortunately, I know fiction books have staffs for proof-reading,
I had assumed that technical help books did as well but as for the quality
of them, I am not sure. I doubt technical proof readers know everything
about every program.

Subject: FLASH: A Warning on the Hillman Curtis Book


I have posted for help on this site with regards to the Curtis Hillman book
and have had feedback from only one person. Amazing! That's okay. I figured
out the problem and want to share it. If that's okay. Also, I would like to
suggest that someone consider posting to an area when errors are found in
this book considering how popular this book is. Note different errors may
arise for different OS's.

I want to tell all those folks running Flash 4 and a Win OS like I am,
beware of the Hillman book. You WILL run into a number of problems
especially with the Modify/Align command when working on Chapter 4 of the
Hillman book. DO NOT use this command in Chapter 4! Use the "Object Info"
window to do ANY aligning. I was banging my head against the wall for days,
and being a newbie I was too uninformed to understand what one kind person
had discovered and tried to relay to me.

Again, be aware there is a great deal to learn from this book, but you must
have the basics down, which I did not, but had to learn quickly in order to
survive the experience of this book. It is amazing how much I have learned
in two short weeks. BUT, this book is FULL of ERRORS!!!!!!!! Too bad
considering this gentleman is such a talent, though not a very good proof
reader.

Good Luck,
greg landry
