Title: not recommended
Review: When I first purchased this book, I was honestly excited about what I thought would be an upper-level Flash text which delved into the nuances of Action Scripting. Instead, I got a book with 15 or so tutorials with no explanation of how they work. You can easily find this code on the web - for free. Ironically, very similar tutorials can be found as freeware on websites maintained by the authors! There are also typos in a couple of the examples, which are still not listed on the book's support website. The PHP "Guestbook" tutorial in particular does not work. I only found this out after tracking down the email address for the author of that particular chapter. About half of each page in the book is wasted on redundant screenshots which are useless - particularly in an advanced text. A final note: when I asked one of the author's (via email) why there weren't explanations as to how the tutorials worked, he replied that there wasn't enough space to include them! hmmm...
