Product Description
Product Description
This project-based guide from Adobe will teach readers all they need to know to create engaging interactive content with Flash CS3. Using step-by-step instructions with projects that build on the knowledge learned in each lesson, readers will learn the key elements of the Flash interface, including panels, timelines, and frames. From there, readers will learn how to work with vector and bitmap graphics; create and edit symbols; modify text and add interactivity with ActionScript 3.0; and incorporate animation, music, and sound to their projects. They'll also learn how to prepare and export their finished projects for Web and broadcast. Of course, readers will also learn how to take advantage of the new features of Flash CS3--the streamlined user interface, native support for Photoshop and Illustrator files, revamped drawing tools, new video encoding features, code editing enhancements, and much more. The companion CD provides users with all the sample files they need to complete all of the projects.

Good for complete beginners,

This review is from: Adobe Flash CS3 Professional Classroom in a Book (Paperback)
This is a relatively good book if you're a complete beginner and learn by practicing.
Covers the basics of Flash, so you'll need another book if you need to go deeper. This book covers a lot of different, medium size examples. For one big example, i.e. creating a website in Flash from a to z, try Flash CS3 Visual Quickproject. For a more advanced book or a reference book, go with Flash CS3 Visual Quickstart. When you're ready to go with ActionScript, try the Flash CS3 Professional Advanced Visual Quickpro.

I had only just learned Dreamweaver and wanted to learn Flash as well. It's a difficult program to learn, but this book really does a great job as a substitution for an actual classroom. I've been able to create dynamic websites and fun animations. I'd recommend it to anyone wanting to learn Flash, but doesn't know where to begin.

Careless, sloppy, garbage,
By M. Maddux "Sin City" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Adobe Flash CS3 Professional Classroom in a Book (Paperback)
There's nothing more frustrating than investing 2 hours to do one lesson in this book only to realize there are missing steps. So you think you must have done something wrong and try again. But no, it's just a terrible book. Several chapters have missing steps which screws up your entire project. Save your money or buy a different Flash CS3 book. ANY OTHER BOOK. What a waste. If there were a zero star rating, I'd rate it at zero.

Would not recomend this book,
By alexacsi "alexacsi" - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Adobe Flash CS3 Professional Classroom in a Book (Paperback)
As an instructor I found this book highly unreliable. I can't believe that any of the the folks who gave this a 5-star rating actually read it. It is unfair if that is the case, as this book is not inexpensive. I don't have the money or time to waste on a book that just brings me frustration.

Waste of time and money,
By Russ Holland - Published on Amazon.com
This review is from: Adobe Flash CS3 Professional Classroom in a Book (Paperback)
The lessons in this book are poorly planned and many times in each lesson I was left wondering what to do next, or worse yet, why I was doing something. The lessons take a lot more time than advertised, and many don't get you to the end result. I agree with many of the reviews here - except the one that looks like it was written by the publisher. I can't recommend any other books, but I sure can tell you that this book isn't any way to learn Flash. I bought three of these class room books and the only one worth anything is the photo shop book.
