I COULDN’T BELIEVE THE AMOUNT OF WORK IT MUST’VE TAKEN TO MAKE THIS BOOK WHAT IT IS, THIS BY FAR IS THE BESTEST BOOK ON BEGINNING FLASH GAME DESIGNING XP.

I’m a graphic designer by trade. I recently took on a school based apprentice who is doing a certificate in Multimedia. She had to cover certain “Flash” units, so I thought it beneficial to at least know a little bit about the program.
The book was easy to follow, clearly explained and well presented. It provided the ground work to getting around the interface as well as basic programming. I enjoyed working through the tutorials and hope to finish my very own BASIC flash game very soon.

This book teach you all the skills you need, to make a great flash game. It is very easy to understand, even for me who was a totally newbie to programming and beside that, have English as my second language. If you are a totally newbie to flash programming and want to make some great games fast then this book is for you!

I liked this book and was happy to find out that it took a programmer’s perspective to Flash and how simple ActionScript is (if you are familiar with C++). My only fault with the book is that they kind of rushed the last chapter it seems and I wished it explained more and was twice as big of a book
Also, it was kind of a shock to see trigonometry and physics in a “Dummies” book but at least it was only one chapter of it really. Now I feel more confident and will reread another Flash book I bought a while ago but only got through half of it (it seemed so boring..took an artist’s view…opposed to this book’s programmer’s view). And I already bought from here a book just on ActionScript to go further than this book did but I really enjoyed this Flash primer

It is perfect for beginner like me, just as title described. I enjoy reading this book and learn the concept of flash programming. The examples are straightforward and self-content. I am planning to write my first flash game with this book.
