Here at least is a solution to the "how" of the Flash interface. Flash has so many interrelated tools and adjustment panels, it's good to see them systematically explored and explained. I've used Flash for years and still found some hidden powers. Flash's more advanced tools are not overlooked. There are lessons on building guide paths, mask layers, buttons and scripting for control of movie clips and sound track. To use Flash properly, you need to know everything on this CD by heart. This is a painless (except perhaps for the $150 price) way to acquire that knowledge. These lessons are like having a knowledgable friend with a clear lesson plan beside you. Hits all the basics but gets well into subtleties of the complex process of animation.
