暫譯: Macromedia Flash MX 設計師的 ActionScript 參考手冊

If you're serious about Flash design, and if you want to push your ideas to the very limits of possibility in Flash MX, then this book and CD are your indispensable companions.

This book and CD package combines two vital elements:

• The most comprehensive and in-depth reference resource for Flash MX ActionScript
• Rich, practical tutorials on using ActionScript effectively in your Flash movie design

We've packed in twenty chapters of tutorials, hundreds of detailed reference entries, and hundreds of example FLAs and SWFs. The CD reproduces and expands the complete ActionScript dictionary, providing you with a comprehensive and portable reference tool. To gain an idea of the CDs content, view our online demonstration. You can view all the dictionary's entries but only the first thirty or so are functional.

Our aim has been to make this book the best Flash MX ActionScript resource, bar none — the book that you'll keep on your desk and never exhaust.
