Editorial Review: Product Description: As a serious Web designer, you'll want to do one thing and one thing only when you lay your hands on the latest version of Flash: Start tinkering with all its new features. Problem is, that's hard to do on someone else's dime. With Flash MX 2004 Magic, you don't have to! In these pages, 10 Flash wizards draw on their own professional experience to offer 12 real-world projects that let you explore Flash MX 2004 at your leisure. With a focus on areas that can be troublesome for professional users--whether because they present thorny issues or because they draw on completely new features--each lesson provides need-to-know tips, proven techniques, and best practices. By working through the step-by-step tutorials (whose project files and code you'll find on the accompanying CD), you soon will be finding your way around all of Flash MX 2004's new features: CSS support, enhanced components, JSFL, and more. In addition to the code listings and exercise files on the CD-ROM, you'll find videos that clearly demonstrate step by step all the procedures you need to complete in order to create the projects. Average Rating:
 Rating:  - With Most Horrible instructional CDI looked at the book and found it interesting. When I inserted the CD, I realized it was totally user-unfriendly, it was like go figure how we created this $#%*!!! Some of the files don't work at all !!! This CD has been created not to help a user, but to render him confused. I have been using flash for about 5 years and have owned some other books with much better CDs. This is the worst one. What a waste ! Rating: - Shouldn't name this Flash MX 2004 MagicShouldn't call this book a "Flash MX 2004 Magic" because the most of the code (I'd say 85%) in there are just AS1 (not mention that some of their codes are sloppy) They don't even deal with any special feature comes with MX 2004 at all, like create V2 component. I can say most of the project in there can be done with Flash MX (except the chapter about JSFL project, but for that, you can find a better tutorial online than reading that chapter) I did not read this book at all, bought it ... Read More Rating:  - Good projects - weak instructionThe strength of this book is the 12 projects. They are imaginative and use many of the new features of Flash MX 2004. The projects have good graphics and text and video; and the screen shots are works of art. If what you want are ideas this is a perfect book. If you actually want to build these projects yourself, the authors have left a lot out. In particular, there is not a lot of rationale as to why you are doing certain things. That is, unless you know a lot of Flash, the instructions, while easy ...
