Title: TERRIBLE instruction and POOR editing!!!
Review: I bought this book because it claimed to be a step-by-step instruction manual to building an entire website in Flash. However, it fails to mention that it is, in reality, a step-by-sometime-you-fill-in-the-blanks-yourself-step book that has not been thoroughly tested on its target market. I have learned several software programs thru self-study (MS-Project, Photoshop, and advanced Excel plug-in programs that would make a mathematician wince) so I am no amateur... this book is a let-down to what technology has to offer because of poor writing and poor editing. In the second chapter, their description of a task isn't even poor -- it is downright wrong! (The end result being that a butterfly doesn't appear to be "flying, but changing shape in weird ways). I confirmed that this WAS NOT user error, but a mistake in writing. This was not an isolated case --- other times I had to "guess" my next step! Bottom line: don't waste your money.
