Frustrated by the overwhelming nature of Flash?
Want to get up to speed with the program fast so you can concentrate on your animation?
Need to solve problems quickly to get work done to time and to budget?
Then 'How to Cheat in Flash' is for you!
This book is different from the rest because it shows you, step by step, how to work from the problem to the solution when creating Flash animations, from the viewpoint of an animator who has been commissioned to create a job and is working to a deadline.
It is task orientated; every example shows real life commercial work. So, it's not so much a case of 'what does this filter/tool/option do?', as 'this is the task I've been set - how do I achieve it?' The solution may involve a variety of tools and techniques; it may take many steps to complete, or only a few. The free CD-Rom includes all the files you need to put your skills into practice as you read, and much more!
It's an accessible (conversational in style), practical book and CD package which also provides artistic inspiration, a goldmine of timesaving practical tips, tricks and step-by-step workthroughs. You will wonder how you survived without it.
* Successful, bestselling How to Cheat coverage now available for Flash
* Learn a myriad of tips and tricks based on real life working methods to help you work faster and more efficiently with Flash
* Work from the problem to the solution, gaining the best possible results from Flash

Summary: This book and basic Flash knowledge will get you going.
Comment: Don't pay attention to comments about having 2 years Flash experience and this book is too advanced or whatever the comment was. If you have 2 years experience and cannot use this book then you are doing something wrong. I signed up for a free week trial at [...] and went through Chapters 3 through 10 and I bought this book the week after and I'm already creating my own characters and composing simple flash animations with lip synching and panning backgrounds. I've been working on Flash for about 2 months and this book boosted by productivity ten fold. This is the first review that I've ever written and it was so good that I decided to write on. No, I do not have any affiliation with the author or Lynda.com, I'm just telling you my opinion and experience in relation to using this book. I used the free trial week and didn't even have to pay for Lynda at all. This a great book if you know the basics of Flash such as creating and working with keyframes, tweens, etc.

Summary: Amazing- If you're buying a book on Flash animation, make it this one!
Comment: It is rare to find a professional who's willing to share such a wealth of knowledge built over the years. Most pro's in any field will write books full of fluff to satisfy their egos.
Not Chris! This book is absolutely amazing. It is chock full of incredible techniques and tricks that will take your animations to the next level AND save you lots of time.
***To all beginners***: I am a beginner myself -I'm learning Flash on my own and have only used it for a few months. Even though this book does not start from zero, don't bother buying anything else. Do the basic Macromedia tutorials (for free) to learn the environment and then go straight to Chris' book. Of course, there's a lot of stuff that you will not get until you become more profficient, but that's the beauty of the book: that it'll grow with you. Trust me, if you're buying a book on Flash animation, make it this one!
