WRR Review

Adobe Flash CS3 Professional How-Tos: 100 Essential Techniques is a good book for beginners, it has a lot of techniques and just about all the information is accurate, but at the same time it really starts from step one dealing with the most basic aspects of Adobe Flash CS3 Professional. Don't expect a very in-depth explanation for each tutorial because each one is only about two pages long.
The book begins with very basic lessons and may appear to not be worth your while, but we suggest you stick through the first few chapters because it does offer really solid information. Note: if your looking for actionscript help this will not help you - this book offers only a small introduction to it.
Overall Adobe Flash CS3 Professional How-Tos: 100 Essential Techniques is one we would suggest definitely to beginners, but can also be used as a good reference book for more experienced users.
