Product Description
The long-stale page metaphor for Web sites is finally dying out, replaced by the single-screen rich-Internet apps that Flash MX 2004 is at last bringing to the mainstream. To stay ahead of the curve¿and to start creating the kind of Web sites you used to only dream of¿you need this guide. In these pages you'll learn how to create the sites that more and more companies are demanding¿the kind that pull complex data from multiple sources for delivery via a single Web interface, so that users can perform multiple functions from a single screen. The focus here is on building the Flash MX 2004 front end to work with that complex data. You'll learn how to structure applications to eliminate page refreshes while reducing download time, build real-time and time-delayed applications with Flash Communication Server, integrate technologies like Flash Remoting and Macromedia Central, and more. You can even download all of the source files form the book's companion Web site.

1.0 out of 5 stars
worthless,
By A Customer
Ce commentaire est de: Macromedia Flash MX 2004 for Rich Internet Applications (Paperback)
This book was very disappointing. The author goes through endless verbose and meandering discussions of software engineering, but doesn't have a clue how to write decent code. The examples are pitiful--poorly designed, hard to follow, and sloppy.

An advert not a book,

Ce commentaire est de: Macromedia Flash MX 2004 for Rich Internet Applications (Paperback)
Throughout the book the author keeps on singing an re-singing the praises and benefits of using the Flash but without any substantiative hands-on examples. It is the only book that I returned out of some dozen and a half books that I bought in the past year.
5.0 out of 5 stars
an eye opener on many development tricks and techniques,

Ce commentaire est de: Macromedia Flash MX 2004 for Rich Internet Applications (Paperback)
A very good read! I took interest to this book mostly for the 2 chapters on Flash Communication Server and have ended up reading a great deal of the rest of the book. I have found that there are a lot of hidden gems in this book that many authors don't touch base on. From production shortcuts to optimizing scripts that even macromedia doesn't mention. Seeing how one develops their own apps without components in the flash comm chapters was a real eye opener due of the lack of documentation on doing such. This book has help on a few different projects since I have read it! From optimizing my RSOs in FCS to building powerful multidimensional arrays - efficiently. I think this book is for self starters and motivated individuals that see the need to learn with out the opportunity of having some one around to show you the tricks and techniques to speed up your production.
