Summary: Some good, Some bad, Overall so-so
Comment: I found many of the example files missing from the download (which in my opinion is pretty weak - where's the cd with the examples???) that was a major disadvantage. The sections that talked about application development were pretty good, but most of the booked seemed irrelevant. I think the title Developer's Guide is a little misleading. I thought Developer referred to application developer, but I guess it is referring to any Flash development. The book does cover a lot of different topics from 3D to Generator (which does not even apply to MX????). So if you are looking for a book covering a little on a lot this may be it.

Summary: I disagree with the other reviews. This book is worth your $
Comment: I don't generally write reviews on Amazon, but I just happened to take a look at the reviews for this book and found them unjust and wanted to share my views. My reason for purchasing this book was the extremely well documented chapter dealing with XML and Flash. I recently took the Flash Developers Exam and did not do so hot on the XML section of the test. After reading the first 5 pages in this chapter I found all the question I got wrong on the exam. Their coding styles teach you how to use the a lot of the new Flash MX features which is a huge help if you are just now coming over from Flash 5 (or earlier). I found that a good portion of the book covered topics that was covered on the test and really made me surprised as to how much I really didn't know about Flash. This is a book every Flash DEVELOPER should have on their shelves...

Summary: Waiter!, the check please...
Comment: I have no other option than to agree with some of the others here who have found it necessary to beat this book up a bit. It's deserved. This book is really a Flash 5 book masquerading as a MX source. There is some sprinkling of material in there, but this book should never have been able to have that title. Of course MX means sales. It's the latest & greatest at the moment. There are plenty of great MX books out there... I suggest you pick one of those books up and leave this one alone. Sorry...
