Extremely easy step-by-step, By
This review is from: Adobe Flash CS3 Professional On Demand (Paperback)
I definitely recommend the Adobe Flash CS3 Professional on Demand if you're just starting to learn Flash. This book is extremely easy to follow. It's in full color (which helps me learn a lot faster than those boring black and white printed books), each step doesn't take no more than a page to explain, plus they put in Did You Know? and FYI notes for more tips. I usually stick with the Visual QuickStart Guide books b/c they're easy to follow. But this book has taught me to look at others. Shame on me. I'm learning Flash faster than I ever thought.

This review is from: Adobe Flash CS3 Professional On Demand (Paperback)
This book is nice as a quick, personal, desktop reference. I love that every page is in color, that truly makes a difference when you are trying to connect the book instructions with what is happening on your screen. But I was searching for a book to serve as a required text in an educational multimedia course (and as a valuable reference after the course), and this title has no accompanying disk with real life examples that my students could use to follow and create Flash components; the entire book uses "for instance" and hypothetical examples.I kept searching and found that the Adobe Flash CS3 Professional Hands-On Training book suits my need for my students. The book is largely in color, provides step-by-step instsructions, and comes with a full CD of libraries and materials so students can finish each lesson with an... Read more

One of the Worst Examples of Rushed Books,
This review is from: Adobe Flash CS3 Professional On Demand (Paperback)
As a certified Adobe expert in Flash, my personal opinion is that this book is one of the worst EVER written on the topic. Almost EVERY single page has errors as it pertains to the software. All the Actionscript is in 2.0 while ActionScript 3.0 is by far the biggest enhancement to the Flash CS3 product line is excluded. As someone who reads almost every book on the subject, you can never believe how BAD this book is. Steer clear!
