Summary: Not Recommended.
Comment: It is not the best book out there about Flash Applications and how to code in ActionScript. Disadvantage of this book is it only discusses one flash application from beginning till the end, which is developing flash message board. Most of the time you cannot keep track of what they are talking, so when you cannot follow what they are talking your message board also gets stuck... It is written in boring style as well. I would recommend Phillip Kerman's "ActionScripting in Flash MX" for those who want to learn programming in flash.

Summary: Quite Pleased
Comment: I am a programmer and needed to get into the programming side of Flash MX, rather than the design side. I bought a few books, which have been useful; but this is the one I would recommend if you wish to be a knowledgeable user of Flash. Yes, it starts out to be a basic guide and by the end of the book you have been introduced to how and where Flash should be used, and as a bonus, you get an intro into using XML, PHP and MySQL. This is a true thumbs up, 5 stars from me. I would recommend this to anyone who wants a start in Flash programming.

Summary: Disappointing
Comment: I bought this book on the recommendation of a so-called guru. Apparently, that person doesn't know enough about Flash or hasn't really read the book. This book is poorly written, the authors using language like "Firstly,...", and I found it hard to keep my interest while reading through its lengthy and unwarranted discussion of object-oriented programming concepts. I don't know why some authors feel the need to re-explain OOP no matter what subject their book is supposed to dwell on.
This book's title is "Flash MX Applications", but it only deals with one application. It is also somewhat disorganized and you'd have to look hard to find the useful Flash techniques that you could apply in the real world.
