This project-based guide from Adobe will teach readers all they need to know to create engaging interactive content with Flash CS3. Using step-by-step instructions with projects that build on the knowledge learned in each lesson, readers will learn the key elements of the Flash interface, including panels, timelines, and frames. From there, readers will learn how to work with vector and bitmap graphics; create and edit symbols; modify text and add interactivity with ActionScript 3.0; and incorporate animation, music, and sound to their projects. They'll also learn how to prepare and export their finished projects for Web and broadcast. Of course, readers will also learn how to take advantage of the new features of Flash CS3--the streamlined user interface, native support for Photoshop and Illustrator files, revamped drawing tools, new video encoding features, code editing enhancements, and much more. The companion CD provides users with all the sample files they need to complete all of the projects.
Educational instructor notes—created to help teachers plan, organize, and time their lessons—are available for this book (and for other Classroom in a Book titles) at www.peachpit.com/instructorresources.
bad shape
| Customer Rating: | | The condition of this book was much poorer than I had expected. I have ordered books in the past that were listed in "good" condition, and when they arrived, they were nothing less than new. That's what I expected. The cover was cut with a matte knife (I assume in unboxing) and it was torn as well. I guess a little tape will fix it. I was just hoping for something in a little better condition. |
Flash Step by Step Instructions from Lessons
| Customer Rating: | | This book is straightforward and gives easy-to-follow instructions which can be applied to fun and professional-looking projects. |
Convoluted, capricious and confusing for beginners
| Customer Rating: | It was all going well to chapter 6 or 7 ( the code for mouseover buttons example) and my second restart. Midway through attempt three I couldn't get to the underlying rationale that they were trying to impart and went looking for an alternate. The alternate managed to show alternate ways to make resuable button object in code that made sense and wasn't a punishment designed to enforce retention by setting examples that required the same item multiple times. Are we learning concepts or muscle memory?
I'm not fit to review the correctness of the books approach just to say that it doesn't work well for me, and many others it seems. This was a poor introduction to flash cs3 that was so bad I didn't even expense the thing. Not bad enough for 1 star , I'd like to give it 1.5

Adobe, How the Mighty have Fallen...
| Customer Rating: | My first experiences with the Adobe Classroom in a book series were several years ago with the Photoshop 7 and Illustrator 10 CIB books. They were well done, logically presented, and gave you a pretty good understanding of the basics regarding the two programs.
This year I have been unfortunate enough to buy both the Flash CS3 and Dreamweaver CS3 CIBs and they are horrible. Both purchases were a waste of money.
You will learn little from the Flash CS3 book. It is full of errors, not only in the text but in the example files on disk. The logic flow of the overall presentation is essentially non-existent. The lessons are not related to one another, so that, for instance, Lesson Six does not integrate or include concepts presented in prior lessons. And, most of the lessons incorporate material from future lessons that haven't been touched on yet, which only leads to confusion.
I am not a newbie in either web design or digital animation, with 12 and 26 years experience in those fields respectively. And this book added nothing to my learning experience for Flash. I had this book, the printed manual, a Flash 'bible', and another tutorial book, and the Flash CS3 CIB all open at once while I jumped from index to chapter to obscure references here and there, along with watching numerous tutorial videos. The Flash CS3 CIB was useless.
The bottom line is, the Flash CS3 CIB would have been better off left as a tree. |
Learn Flash in a flash
| Customer Rating: | | The Adobe Flash CS3 Classroom in a book is an easy to understand and fast way to get up to speed with the latest version of Flash. How do I know? I had NEVER used any previous version of Flash and solely using this book, in two weeks I taught myself enough to pass the Adobe Certified Associate (ACA) certification exam! |
