Summary: An unfortunate book
Comment: It looks good, it's pages look well designed, it's 4-color throughout, its got a CD full of exercises. But the value stops there.

The exercises are awkwardly organized, poorly worded and the "final versions" on CD poorly conceived and executed. The instructions are all for Windows based operating systems. Judging by the errors and omissions, it appears that whoever edited the book did not try to follow the instructions or exercises. Too much to enumerate.

(I have been using Photoshop, Dreamweaver, GoLive and HTML for a number of years and I am a content producer for a Southern California newspaper. I also have had good experience with Director and even some previous, though spotty, Flash instruction. I 'm usually a pretty quick study, given half a chance. With this book, no. It was like walking a minefield.)

I'm abandoning this book in favor of a few others which have very good reader reviews like Macromedia Flash MX 2004 Hands-On Training by Rosanna Yeung; Macromedia Flash MX 2004: A Beginner's Guide by Brian Underdahl (Author); Teach Yourself VISUALLY Macromedia Flash MX 2004 by Sherry Kinkoph; and Macromedia Flash MX 2004 for Dummies.

A waste of $30.

Summary: High expectations!
Comment: I really had high expectations before receiving this book. The author is known for creating books that show really cool tutorials (i.e. Photoshop). This book really disappointed me. When I saw "Accelerated" I pictured a book that explained the secrets behind what you see on the web. Instead it's a pre-school style book that takes you through the most basic steps. Not in any way meant for the intermediate to advanced user of Flash.
