Review:
I am new to using Flash, having heard about the great moving graphics you can put together using little space. Looking at this book, and going to the listed sites, I am astounded at what I could do and what I need to learn. For you newbies, just starting to tinker around with flash, this book should be helpful by showing what you can do. NOT a technical book; I'd say you can use it with a tech book - this one for style, and a tech book to show execution.
