Title: Complete waste of money -- typos & poor web support
Review: One example: Chapter 15 Page 398, NOTE: "For all examples, you can use your own external files, but for everything to be exactly as it is in the book, you should download the files for this chapter from the Web site."(...)Another example. Chapter 1, Page 15. (Yeah, lousy from the very beginning). The code will NOT work, since there's a typo in there that involves improper capitalization, thus violating case sensitivity! I'm an intermediate-level ActionScript user, so I caught this right away, but a beginner will never realize what's wrong.The only value I can see to this book is that it has a chapter on integrating Flash with PHP, which is a rarity among books on server-side Flash. But I haven't gotten to this chapter yet, so I don't know whether they've loused this up too.This is a typical SAMS book. In other words, a nearly complete waste of money.
