Title: Avoid
Review: This Flash MX book is not worth buying or even reading. It's filled with mistakes. Take page 204. Step no 6 provides the code to write in an HTML page. The problem is the code is wrong. What's even more funny, just next to it, in figure 6.23, there's a visual example of the code, which doesn't even match with the one in Step no 6. The worst part of all this is that not only is the code on that page wrong but also on the previous page(203). The code there also has mistakes. But if you go to Macromedia's web site, look up "popup window" and you'll find a page which tells you how to create a pop-up windows with all the correct code, and it's free.I don't understand how Macromedia can print books like this. Yes, it's a Peachpit Press book but it's printed in association with Macromedia Press. If there's one thing that a Flash book shouldn't be is be filled with mistakes when it comes to the coding. How can anyone learn anything if the code they provide doesn't even work? It's shameful.
