Rank animation beginner

This is exactly the book I needed, as a complete beginner in website design and Flash. The book makes NO assumptions of prior knowledge. If you find this sort of thing as intimidating as I do, you should buy this book.

more of a tutorial than reference

If you want a beginners guide to learning Flash, this is a good one. Explains steps in detail, and rather clearly. There are a few frustrating errata, but they are well documented on the publishers website. If you are looking for a reference text rather than a hold-my-hand guide, look elsewhere. I rate this 4/5 stars.

GET THIS BOOK!

If ever you wanted to learn Flash® the quick and simple way, THIS BOOK IS IT!!It'll be your bestest buddy from start to finish. And don't let the thickness of "Beaker" (yep, I gave it a name) put you off ... if you're like me and you have extensive knowledge of Illustrator®, Photoshop®, GoLive®, plus the now defunct LiveMotion®, and all their terminologies, you can be forgiven for skipping certain sections.Flash® is here to stay and, from what I am hearing, it gets even easier to use with each product update.Come on. Jump on board! You wont regret it!
