New users to Flash should read this book first. If you’ve been doing Flash for a while and want to step back to make sure you’re headed in the right direction, you could find some gems throughout the book, but it might be tough to relearn the basics. If you’re someone who can learn on your own, you might think you don’t need a book like this, and, honestly, you might be right. But, this book moves quickly enough and provides tons of hands-on tasks that it’s worth investing the time to read 24 hour-long chapters. If you learn by doing, this is a good book for you. If you’re looking for any of the following Flash topics, they’re not covered here: writing class files in ActionScript 2.0 or ActionScript 3.0, developing content for mobile phones, using Flex Builder, building true 3D environments in Flash (although we do cover the new 3D tool), integrating with back-end web servers, or using Apollo. Some of these topics are mentioned in the book—but at best we only briefly discuss these more advanced topics.
