Macromedia Flash 8 For Dummies (For Dummies (Computer/Tech))

This book never got down 2 the meat of the whole issue! We want 2 make flash movies. The very first chapter should be...let`s get down 2 business! Let`s make our first movie. You have 2 wait until Chapter 9 2 finally get 2 really do anything. The first chapter was a tease 2 make you read until chapter 9. Not very nice. And still...chapter nine is missing so much. I am going 2 make my own Flash journal 4 my students. I am going 2 show them how 2 make a simple animation, how 2 add 2 it, make changes, tweak, add key frames & plain frames & show them the differences! Perhaps I should try 2 publish. Purchasing this book made me look like a dummy. Sorry 2 pan it so much but it is useless. This is the first book I bought from Amazon that I got on the case of. Sorry. There have 2 be better books on this out there 4 people that want 2 get into it & not procrastinate on it.Any recommendations?

The product is great. Very helpful 2 get up 2 speed quickly.
