Customer Reviews

Very good approach - taught me a trick or two!

For someone who has been working with flash for several years now, I wouldn't think a beginner's book would have been so helpful. It gives good, thorough examples and tips I haven't read from any other sources. No, it's not very big and it doesn't cover every aspect of Flash - but it DOES give you enough information to create complete interactive interfaces, plus it puts scripting in terms easy to understand for those of us who struggle with code.

got me up to speed

I have only animated with Flash before, and had never really used much actionscript with my designs. This book really covered a lot, and explained it very easily. I read this thing in around 2 weeks, and feel I really understand what it is all about now. It doesn't assume anything of the reader, luckily for me!! If you want a book that is very clear and easy to understand, and is pretty funny too, I recommend this book highly.

Actionscript Zero to Hero

This book makes Actionscript easy to learn. It provides three things necessary to learning and remembering - Simplicity, excellent real life associations, and practicality. This is the book you can bring with you on your ride to work and understand what's being said, even though you are not in front of your screen. When you do go home, you'll have memory aids to make what you've learned stick. Also, you won't be doing things that you won't use, but rather the examples are on things you can put to immediate use. My experience is that Friends of Ed books are by knowledgeable professionals that love to teach.
