Of these, I can vouch for the ActionScript 3.0 Cookbook ...
Joey Lott,
Darron Schall, and Keith Peters are top notch developers.
This book has
helped me considerably, but it is aimed more toward the
intermediate to
advanced programmer. If you want an intro book -- on
programming, in any
case -- I recommend Object-Oriented ActionScript for Flash 8,
by Peter Elst
and Todd Yard, for ActionScript 2.0 programming (still
perfectly valid in
Flash CS3 if you set your publish settings for AS2). For an
AS3 intro,
consider Foundation ActionScript 3.0 with Flash CS3 and Flex
2, by Steve
Webster and Sean McSharry.
For a general intro to Flash -- not especially
code-oriented, but with a
healthy dose of ActionScript -- I can also vouch for
Foundation Flash CS3
for Designers. It's available for pre-order, not quite ready
yet, but I
have a great personal interest in it because I co-authored
that one with Tom
Green. ;) For voluminous animation-specific tips, I highly
recommend Chris
Georgenes' How to Cheat in Adobe Flash CS3 ...

Beginner: Whats a good beginner as3 coding book?
Can anyone recommend a super basic beginner as3 coding book?
I've heard that Learning ActionScript 3, A Beginner's Guide is good but I've not read it. I have read Essential AS3 by Colin Moock, but that is not for beginners. I would suggest going to Amazon and searching ActionScript 3 and reading some of the reviews.

Is there a good flash tutorial for a simple slide show?
Basically I want to create a very simple slide show just like
the one on the
main page at www.bv.com
Is there a article or something anywhere so I can learn how
to do this using
Flash? Also is there an article on how to create text that
flys in from the
left or right?
Best Regards,

www.kirupa.com has one (loads external images)
and www.gotoandlearn.com might have one.

Does anybody know of a good flash book?
Hello, I'm very new to flash, and wanted to know if any of
you knew of a good tutorial/referance book for FLASH CS4 that I
could use to help teach myself flash.
Thanks!Mumasatus,
> Hello, I'm very new to flash, and wanted to know if any

Flash is one of the most versatile tools I know. You can use
Flash for
everything from TV cartoons (no programming at all), to
custom slideshows,
banners, and other Web eye candy (perhaps some programming),
to games, music
players, video players, and applications (potentially heavy
programming).
This means you can focus on quite a variety of disciplines,
so for
anyone to recommend a book, it will probably help to hear
more about the
projects you're interested in pursuing. There are books
specifically on
animation (cartoon or otherwise), on illustration, on making
applications,
on demoing (faking) applications, on programming in general,
and even on
extending the capabilities of the authoring tool.
If you're interested in a good general-purpose reference --
something to
give you a broad sense of the basics -- I'll go ahead and
mention the
friends of ED title I just co-authored with my buddy Tom
Green (not *that*
Tom Green, the other one). It's called "Foundation Flash CS4
for
Designers," and this new edition is nearly 700 pages. We
cover the work
space, the various drawing tools, text, audio, video, two
chapters on
animation, CSS, XML, the UI components, and more.
http://www.FoundationFlashCS4.com/
There's also a CS3 version, if you're using CS3:
http://www.FoundationFlashCS3.com/
Both of those websites link to the publisher, where you can
read sample
chapters, and Amazon.com sells both for around $25 apiece,
which is pretty
cheap. There aren't any reviews yet for the CS4 edition, but
the reviews
for our CS3 book are generally really good.

What is the best Flash Tutorial?
I am looking for the best beginning flash tutorial. Any suggestions?
Regards, Tom Ashworth
Tom Ashworth Real EstateHello Tom,
I find the tutorials at designprovideo.com simply fantastic! It's like having someone there with you, walking you through the software. I started with Photoshop and have since moved on to the beginner tutorial for Flash CS4 101:
http://designprovideo.com/tutorial/flashcs4101
I was finding Flash very intimidating. Now I am feeling more comfortable with the basics after watching the first 50 videos. I especially appreciate the way the training is organized into bite sized chunks and the trainers do not assume knowledge like in other tutorials I have seen.

PDF to Flash page turning book effect
Can anyone recommend a particular professional PDF to Flash page turning book effect software. I've googled but there's a fair few out there and not sure which to go for. Anyone recommend a software in particular or know if any have been approved by Adobe? This is following a request by corporate client of mine but I'm stuck on which one is best to go for.
Thanks in advance
Molly O'MoonThanks for your reply Dave
Just tried exporting an ID file using the swf export settings but it does seems to be just be limited to a page curl effect. Is good but not quite what I'm after. What I need is something that produces page turns, zoom in and out options, a 'go to locked pdf' version and a print option that prints from the pdf and not the swf. Not sure this can be done in the ID export menu? I might be missing something though - so really after recommendations on software that would let me to do this to a pdf but not sure which would be best choice out of the options that are out there.
Really appreciate your help. -
HOW TO LEARN Photoshop Elements "tutorial" or "book" ?
hello. newby here. can anyone recommend a good Photoshop Elements online "tutorial" or "book" that I can purchase to learn the "ins & outs" of PSE5.0? I'm not that tech savvy, but I do have enough knowledge to tool around PSE making fixes here and there using clone, brush, etc. I just can not find an efficient way to learn all about file specs, batching, converting to, etc. any help would be greatly appreciated. thank you!
Hi,
You should take a look at www.lynda.com. They made al lot of courses also about photoshop elements. I don't know if PSE 5.0 is still available, but you can always check. If i am right you can also see what the content is of the course. I watched a few of these courses and i think it's very good.
Hope it helps.
Kind regards,

I am a high school teacher. My district purchased the entire CC Suite. Where can I find a tutorial in book form to learn how to use your products? Do you all provide free book samples to teachers?
Good day!
This is a user to user Forum, so you are not really addressing Adobe here, even though some Adobe employees thankfully have been dropping by. (edit: Actually they are more likely to frequent the regular Photoshop Forum.)

Is there available a good BSP tutorial in PDF format?.
Is there available a good BSP tutorial in PDF format?.
I have the Advanced BSP Programming book but am missing a general introduction/tutorial.
On another subject, I have to add further details to one of the views in the Interaction center. The view currently shows four panes, so there is obviously some logic in there that is controlled via config. The extra details look like they either need to be added to another pane, or should act as a pop-up when they press a button, if that is possible.
Any advice would be much appreciated.

Looking for a good beginner/intermediate Java book
Hello everyone,
I am looking for a good beginner/intermediate Java book. I have taken a couple of Java classes (Beginner programming + beginner Java) and have a fairly good understanding of the basics. What I want is a book that is going to build on that as well as give me some good practical problems to work on while I'm doing so. Can anyone recommend one or two good books that would fit the bill?
Thanks!Those three books are all excellent, but are all beginner books. When it comes to intermediate books I think you need to go topic by topic.

What are good quality speakers to purchase for mini mac
what are good quality speakers to purchase for mini mac?
While I can't recommend any brand of camera, you should consider a couple of things about the editing... iMovie 8 is a good program to use if you just need to create something quickly with little real editing and sound manipulation. And iM 8 will interface with both DV tape cameras as well as hard disk/flash drive types as well. You can export the product to web services, etc very easily but it will take some extra effort to create a DVD from the edited shots. There is no direct export to iDVD.
If you want to get more serious about editing, you should consider looking iMovie 6 as it has much more flexibility in rearranging clips, adding and editing sounds, etc. However, it will only interface with DV tape cameras, which by the way, are the highest quality pics available, and you can create DVD disks.
You might try borrowing a tape camera to make a test run and compare it to a camera that uses a HD for storage. Use iM 8 and compare to ease, etc, and the product to one created in iM 6. This certainly is not the kind of recommendation you are asking for, but maybe will help in making your decision about which way to go.
Maybe you are looking for
