	1 Bhangal, Sham Flash 5 Studio (Designer to Designer) friends of ED Ltd 2001 1-903450-30-6 / 9781903450307 Paperback  Paperback in good condition but NO CD ROM.ReviewFlash 5 Studio is the latest entry in the Studio series and is aimed squarely at intermediate Flash creators those who are out there already "doing it" promising to perfect their techniques and hone their skills. Kudos to thepublishers, Friends of Ed, for figuring out exactly what a beginning, intermediate or advanced user of Flash needs and writing books that deliver theappropriate material to each level.Calling upon a talented group of over 20 cutting-edge "Flashers" (working Flash professionals) to helm individual chapters, Flash 5 Studio covers advanced site management, content creation (like smart clips, cartooning, video, sound), dynamic content (interactive movies that feed content dynamicallyfrom separate data sources, news headlines, for example), ActionScriptingand issues crucial to partial or full Flash Web sites (such as preloaders or optimising Flash for search engines). The motto of the book could be: "deeper, more serious, more fully explained".Each chapter teaches a specific technique or concept through examples which capitalise on the particular talents of that chapter's author. For example, Nikhil Adnani is a talented and humorous cartoonist/animator from Canada, and his chapter walks you through practical steps for creating charming animations (want to make a cow strut?), while dispensing good advice on character design, making convincing movement, and optimisation. Richard Mapes from Moonfruit provides an introduction to ActionScript principles. If coding seems beyond you, this might just clear the fog. From there, readers can explore the script  Price: 8.00 GBP Add to Shopping Cart
	2 Bhangal, Sham Foundation ActionScript Peer Information Inc. 2001 1-903450-32-2 / 9781903450321 Paperback  Condition good. Isbn 1-903450-32-2,1903450322. Heavy book may require extrapostage.One of the best tutorials available for designers and non programmers, Foundation ActionScript is perhaps one of the finest introductory programming books ever written but programmers and Flash experts will be bored stiff bythe baby-step teaching methods this book exhibits.The book assumes the you have no knowledge of programming concepts goingin, and introduces the basics using simple, real-world examples to show youthat programming is nothing more than breaking down what you want to do into the smallest elements. Author Sham Bhangal takes the example of making tea and sections it out into its composite elements. Then, he writes a pseudo program that makes tea, using very clear, accessible, and, above all, comforting language. If you've always been nervous about the seemingly scary idea of "programming," then Foundation ActionScript will reassure you.Bhangal then brings this idea of simplicity into ActionScript programming,at first showing you how to accomplish simple tasks--like stopping a ball from zipping across the screen--and then gradually turning up the heat as hebegins to probe ActionScript's more advanced functions.The key word here is "gradually," since fundamental programming ideas likevariables aren't even mentioned until chapter 6. This gradual process worksmarvelously in some ways, since Bhangal goes over each topic so thoroughlyand exhaustively that you never lose track of what you're learning--and the repetitiveness pays off not only in spades, but also in hearts, clubs, and diamonds.Suffice it to say  Price: 12.00 GBP Add to Shopping Cart
