Superb book !! I can see myself using this book for years there are tons of techniques to learn, explained simply with lots of pictures making it great for quick reference. I teach flash animation and will be recommending that all my students buy this book !!

A great little book that is a pleasure to open and read. Well illustrated and presented - a book with high production values. The title (forget the cheating bit) describes the contents perfectly - The art of design and Animation - the knowledgeable author teaches great Flash techniques.

Firstly I would like to say that when I reviewed this book a few weeks ago there was a post which thankfully has been removed.
br /Basically it dismissed this book because it suggested that it helps you 'cheat'
br /I for one am glad I wasn't put off because this book is fantastic!! It covers everything that you will need to know.
br /From design styles and basic drawing to using video and audio.
br /It even tackles action scripting very cool! this book is going to save me so much time only wish I had stumbled across it sooner
br /there's even a cd with the different graphics so you can play around when your reading this book.
Fantastic - great tips for getting stuck in. December 8, 2008

Someone said above it's too technical if you are a beginner. If by beginner you don't know how to open panels, use the drawing tools, change line colours etc then this book wont tell you how to do that stuff (as he says in the book that's what the adobe help files are for) which is why I love it.
br /
br /I get so bored reading intricately detailed instructions from other books such as classroom in a book series ie "....click here, select that, paste that, open this window, if you don't know how to then do this....", this book assumes you know how to navigate your way around Flash and just lets you know how to achieve what you want to acheive.
br /
br /You can use it from beginning to end or skip to the character chapters, drawing chapters etc etc. Each chapter is more advanced than the previous, and when I say advanced I don't mean code or anything (not found any in it so far) just that maybe masks comes after drawing, creating 3D like drawings comes after 2D drawing etc.
br /
br /This is more like a workbook you'd get at school, gorgeously laid out with lovely graphics and not too much text. That's what adds to it's greatness.
br /
br /A must-have for anyone who gets bored easily with the standard Flash textbooks.

I have been using flash for years and there are still some great tricks that I have learnt from this book. I lecture flash at university to complete beginners and I intend to point them in the direction of this book. The exercises look great and are FUN to complete. Flash is not the easiest program to learn. The beauty of this book is that the content is so engaging, the exercises rewarding, you might not even notice you are learning along the way.
