Book Description

Macromedia Flash is a key technology for designing and delivering low-bandwidth animations, presentations, and web sites. More recently it has become development environment, complete with scripting capabilities and server-side connectivity. Flash has the ability to easily integrate with, and add interactivity to, complex media types with powerful and intuitive tools. Developers can rapidly develop high performance, accessible content using pre-assembled building blocks and expand their authoring capabilities with custom extensions from independent developers.
Macromedia Flash MX Unleashed covers these high-end topics, providing you with a solid and complete reference for building Flash websites and applications. Fundamentals are covered quickly in the first part of the book, with the majority of the content devoted to coverage of ActionScript and how Flash works with varied middleware. You’ll also learn how to integrate Flash with several other technologies, including XML and PHP.

Reader Reviews
I’m using this book for a graduate Interactive Multimedia course. Following along with each chapter’s topic, you get good coverage and an easy to learn experience with Flash. Great for beginners like me!
By the time I had finished the 17th chapter of the book, it was guaranteed a great review, but it didn’t stop there. Flash is wonderful but it’s even more powerful when paired with other technologies. Far surpassing my expectations, the author devotes the next ten chapters to an in depth coverage of integration of Flash with many of my favorite technologies including PHP, MySQL and XML. The author gives excellent examples of both how to use Flash with other technologies as well as why a developer would want to. The author wisely chose to divide the chapters by technology rather than by type of integration which gives the reader the ability to skip chapters covering technologies such as ASP which a developer may not have experience with or fond feelings for.
