by Matthew David, Mark Baltzegar and others*Flash MX Magic brings together a list of contributors that reads like the who's who of Flash gurus... Veronique Brossier, Jim Caldwell, John Dalziel, Aria Danika, Robert M. Hall, Andreas Heim, Jason Krogh, 2Advanced Studios, Jessica Speigel, Glenn Thomas, and Helen Triolo all join forces to bring this lively book of magic tricks.
The book presents customizable Macromedia Flash projects, 15 in all, focusing on projects such as game programming, creating a poll with a dynamic database, movie-making, and e-Card creation. By giving you clear instructions, full 4-color graphical display of steps, all the code and components and an explanation of modifications, you have all the tools necessary to complete the projects and use them as a launching pad for your own sophisticated work.
The Magic series is perfect for a multi-author book. Its non-linear design allows each chapter to stand on its own as an independent project. And with the leading Flash designers and developers authoring this book, you get the best tips and tricks from those who have proven themselves in the field.
Flash Magic books aren't for most absolute beginners. If you're brand new to Flash, you may want to start with an entry-level book that gets you familiar with the basics of motion graphics and Flash's tools, before jumping into a Magic book.
As always, the project files are on the CD, so you can try these yourself and learn from some of the best and creatively varied minds in motion graphics. * Flash MX Magic (3rd Edition) - by Matthew David, Mark Baltzegar and others*Paperback: 320 pages; Dimensions (in inches): 0.65 x 8.94 x 9.70 * Publisher: New Riders Publishing; 3rd edition (April 12, 2002) * from the flash Department.
