Rezensionen

Praise for the first edition: "The definitive guide for Flash designers and artists. Not only does he cover the nuts and bolts of combining these programs in practical and efficient ways, but the examples he uses are wonderfully designed. This is a book I will keep within easy reach in my studio." -Chris Georgenes, Mudbubble LLC, animator and author of How to Cheat in Flash CS3
