How to Cheat in Adobe Flash CS4: The art of design and animation
To start off this book is excellent, but I have the Cs3 one. This one has about 20-30 pages on cs4 and a new copy costs 40 bucks like the CS3 one. This is 3 stars because of pricing and no separate selling of the Cs4 pages. Overall though it is good for newcomers to flash with Cs4 or Cs3.

“When our Adobe Flash User Group Manager emailed me if I was interested in reviewing Chris Georgenes’s latest book, How To Cheat In Flash CS4, I immediately became excited about the opportunity to do so.” In responce to one of my forum post’s on [...] (Site no longer active), Chris Georgenes was so kind to take the time to encourage me about my desire to develop a children’s online game that my daughters wanted to create. “Chris and everyone, I regret to say that I have yet to get this project into the production stage. My girls have been doing their part with drawings and sketching out their idea’s of what they want the online game to look like.” “No excuses… dad.”, my girls would say.
“Chris’s book is full of great examples, this is a must have for every timeline animator!” If you want to improve your Flash timeline animation skills this book is a must have. This new book includes all of the previous book and much much more. This new book is 14 chapters of wonderful insights and examples from Chris. Also included are 2 bonus chapters on the CD that accompanies the book as well as great tutorials including tutorials on Flash CS4’s new bone tool and some great CS4 motion tween examples. And yet, more extra examples as well. This book is a must have in your Flash library arsenal.”
“You will most definitely enjoy Chris’s new book and I wish you all the best in your Flash Animations!”

I’ve been animating for about 40 years now,and this is by far the most helpful book I’ve I’ve come across.The only thing I’m not sure about is the hot tip on page 83.

Although I have the previous version of this book I thought the upgrade was worth it because of the new features. There is some repeat from the older version but this is one book that I really think should be kept up-to-date in your Flash library.

Great book if you already know your way around the Flash interface and looking to take your animations to the next level. The author doesn’t reference the actual source file, so it can get a little confusing and the chapters on the CD at the end do not correspond to the chapters in the book. But over all GREAT!!!
