The New Masters of Flash

by Joyce Evans

The New Masters of Flash is quite a hefty book with full color throughout. There is an impressive list of contributors, they are:
____ Yugo Nakamura, Tomasz Jankowsk, todd Purgason, Ivo Van de Grift, thevoid, Andries Odendall, Eric Jordan, Manuel Clement, Brendan Dawes, Tony Ke, Irene chan, Jayson Singe, cut-and-paste.com, Oliveier Besson, James Patrson, Vince Suriani, Tomato, Yasuto Suga and Joshua Davis.
____ Each of the authors provides an essay about design where each author discusses their influences and design vision, followed by a tutorial.
____ Something that this book has that no other book does (that I know of) is a topic map, its a grouping of chapters thematically and an explanation of how you can continue on a particular thread or topic by jumping to related chapters
____ This is not a "learn how to use Flash" book, if thats what you want check out the Foundation Flash 5 book (my favorite for learning Flash). This book is for inspiration and learning. The tutorials assume an advanced level of experience. If you are looking for tons of Flash 5 ActionScript then this isn't it either. The ActionScript in this volume is for Flash 4.
____ What you will gain from this book is an insight into how the power designers think and how the convert an idea into a Flash presentation. You will learn some advanced techniques on how to build some flash componets. There are topics such as adding sound, an introduction to load/unload movies, the illusion of 3D, and many more.
____ This book is well illustrated in full color and is beautiful to look at and easy to use if you have a knowledge of Flash already.
____ The CD-ROM has great interview movies which you get to see some of the personal motivations and philosophies of many Flash gurus. All the tutorials however are not included.
