Summary: Mmm, not very good
Comment: I have just read this book from beginning to end and I must say it was not very exciting. The book is so dry and general that you will not learn much from it. I have read a couple of "For Dummies" books and this one is not one I would recommend to anyone.
Rating: 4
Summary: Great Guide- warning inside
Comment: Before you venture out into the world of Flash 5 learning let me give you a few words of advice. Firstly, about the program in general.. Macromedia Flash 5 costs around 400 dollars. The book includes a test demo, but this demo IS NOT LONG ENOUGH TO GIVE YOU HANDS ON TRAINING FOR THE DURATION OF THE BOOK. Fortunatly my students were allowed to used borrowed copies of the software to complete this book.
Now that I have placed my two warnings on the table, I must say that this book with the proper study and participation (using the Flash 5 screen right in front of you) can make for an ideal Dummies book. All of my students found this book instructional, and a few of them even went as far to say it was the best Flash book on the market. In same areas, I must agree with them.
First of all- despite the criticism that this book is hard to follow at times- it makes Flash 5 programming quite simple. Flash is not an easy program to use effectively, and without reading this book you may get lost in a clutter.
Secondly, this book is in my opinion one of the only TWO Flash 5 books you should EVER read. The other book is Macromedia's own instructional book for advanced users. Other books give you nothing but repitition from an inferior writer...
Get this book if you are serious about improving and using Flash 5; otherwise you are wasting your time

Summary: Great for starting out!
Comment: This book is clear and easy to understand. I was a complete novice to Flash and was able to create a rather complex site after reading Flash 5 For Dummies. My goal was to self teach Flash and I was successful; however, I also utilized other sources. I don't think that one source alone can possibly be enough since we all have different ways of learning. I found going online to various tutorials extremely helpful.
I definitely recommend this book to anyone who wants to be able to create a great website; however, be open to pulling information from the vast variety of free online tutorials, newsgroups, etc. Most of all, PRACTICE the concepts that this book teaches so that you can actually apply them.
