Sebastopol, CA—Once you know how to use Flash, you can create everything from simple animations to high-end desktop applications, but it's a complex tool that can be difficult to master on your own. That is unless you have Flash CS5.5: The Missing Manual (O'Reilly Media, $44.99) by Chris Grover.
"My book is intended for beginner to intermediate audiences," notes Grover. "It starts off easy, so it's great for newcomers who are beginning to use Flash. The chapters and exercises build logically. Later chapters explore complex features such as controlling animations using ActionScript, and turning Flash animations into AIR desktop, smartphone, or tablet applications."
