Overview : Flash MX most wanted gives you all you need to create the most commonly requested Flash effects and movies with Fast and Fun examples.

What is covered :

- High impact cinema style flash intro
- innovative navigation system
- Flash MP3 Jukebox!
- Visually awesome flash math effects
- animated text effects
- dynamic, interactive drawin'
- Attention grabbing preloaders
- Animation - from idea to post production

What I say : A great read and an excellent book that runs thru almost everything a newbie would want to do in flash. I found the preloader part extremely useful. This is, I think, geared to those who are familiar to a little actionscript and flash, but might be too easy to advanced users. Beginners might try it out.. as the code is simple enough to understand and short explanations are given when the book provides some code for an action. Clear and concise, to-the-very-dot.
