Title: overview of mx
Product review: I usually enjoy From the Source books, but this one gave me a "thrown together at the last minute" feel. The book uses a zoo site which lacks "umf". It just doesn't sizzle at all. Chissy attempts to give an overview and you just feel like you are reading another technical manual. The treatment of actionscript is... well abrupt. She covers functions, variables, loops, syntax and other important issues in less than 4 pages.Your head will definitely spin on that one.There are some good points in terms of resources and an overview of Flash features, but this text was worse in its treatment of Flash as a tutorial. Further it is has several errors and inconsistencies in the content. Again, you feel someone was in a hurry to put this together and missed putting together something you can enjoy learning from.
