Summary: Great Book for all Levels of Flash Users...
Comment: Yup, Flash MX 2004 Savvy is a great book for all levels of Flash users - from the most raw newbie to the moderately experienced flasher...and everyone in between. It covers a wealth of Flash topics ranging from the most simple to the complex. It also covers to "out of the box" kinds of topics like Flash and Pocket PC, Flash and Director, and Flash and Dreamweaver. Its also got an incredible comprehensive section on Flash and audio...which, in my opinion, is one of the strongest reasons to buy the book (there are so few books about Flash and audio out there). The bottom line is that I can't say enough good things about this book. I hope that whenever the next version of Flash comes out (knock on wood that it will be awhile away), these authors write another book...because I'll be first in line to buy it.

Summary: Flash MX Savvy 2004 - 5 Star Book
Comment: I bought the last edition of this book and was incredibly pleased. It was everything a beginner Flash user needed to get up to speed on the program. Now, being a far more expereinced Flash user, I still went out and bought this new eiditon as soon as it hit the shelves. It is still the most useful Flash book that I own.
I think the thing that I like the most about the book is not so much the actual core Flash coverage (and there is a lot of that - everything from basic animation to fairly sophisticated ActionScript), but the non-traditional Flash topics: like Flash & Director, 3D Flash, Flash & Freehand (which is a bonus chapter on the book's CD), Flash & Audio Applicaitons, Flash & Pocket PC, etc. There is a lot in the this book that you'll have to search through a lot of other Flash books to find.
On top of all of the great topics, the authors have a wonderful bablance between instruction and hands on tutorials. At the end of each section, there is a legnth project tutorial (called Hands On) that lets you take what you've learned and apply it to a real project. This is an incredible balance that you aren't going to find in many Flash books.
Finally, and this is something that not a lot of people think about when they are buying a computer book is the quality. The book is printed on really high quality paper. I know this sounds silly, but a top of the other really big Flash books (Flash Bible, etc.) are printed on paper which is one step above newsprint).

Summary: I Can't Believe How Good This Book Is!
Comment: I'll admit it, I've been burned in the past. Computer books are so expensive these days, and there are so many bad ones out there that its hard not to get burned. I purchased a copy of a Flash book for the previous version of the program, and was completely disapointed. I had almost given up when I ran across this book in Borders, and got a chance to sit down with it before buying it online. Wow! Is this book ever great. Its really well written and covers more than you could expect. Its a great tool for beginners or intermediate Flash users.
My primary reason for buying the book was a little wierd. As I was reading through the intro/forward, the authors actually made me laugh. You know how rare that is - computer books don't make you chuckle (in a good way). So, I bought the book.
You should too.
