I've purchased quite a few tech books over the years that call themselves "cookbooks", which generally means that the book is divided into chapters of increasingly complex projects and you learn a language or application by building real-world projects. This book is not like that. It's arranged in sections of how to use the tools in the Flash 8 IDE. Having used Flash for the past 5 years now, at least the first half of the book is useless to me, and the second half does not have any really useful Actionscript code samples that are integrated into large applications. Also, I'm a Safari member is this book is not available (as of May 12, 2006) there, which is why I purchased a hard copy. Why is this book not available there? It says Safari Enabled on the back cover. The reason I am a Safari member is so I don't have to purchase full-priced hard copies that have only a few chapters that are relevant to me.
