Free Certified Flash Macromedia Developer Study Guide Ebooks Online
The book does not teach Flash; rather, it is a review guide and will provide helpful pointers for examinees. The book is non-intimidating yet thorough, and is highly readable in small bite-sized chunks. Each subject is presented in clear and direct language, with useful and well explained code examples. Sample questions accompany each subject, as well as references to recommended reading (documentation, course work, and existing ColdFusion books).

I recently purchased this book as a study guide for my MMCP exam. I've read many excellent books on Flash 5, including "Flash 5 - Dynamic Content Studio", "Actionscript - The Definitive Guide", Flash 5 - Actionscript F/X & Design". So far this book is confusing and frustrating. It has conflicting information, multiple typos, and just plain wrong information. There's a section where it discusses this really great accompanying website with lots of exam information and a practice test, unfortunately they don't list the URL anywhere. It's been very disappointing. The only highpoint has been the fact that it comes with a 15% off coupon for the exam cost through VUE. After the 15% off the book is nearly free.
This book has a typo on nearly every page and an error in nearly every code example. I have a hard time believing that a book with so many errors could help you prepare for a test -- unless it's supposed to be testing your ability to catch the errors! I wouldn't trust it.
I agree with the other reviewer. The book refers to a mysterious URL where readers can find corrections to the countless errors. However, I spent an hour looking for the URL in the book and never found it. There's a section that discusses the benefits (including practice exams) of using this mystery URL, but, alas, it's a mystery.The book is a worthwhile study guide. Currently, no other book is as exam-based. The questions and answers in the book mirror Macromedia's sample exam questions. The format also facilitates fast review.Overall, I give it three stars. It would have been a lot better if it didn't seem so hastily put together.
Unacceptable amount of typing errors, code errors. The front of the book says...Everything a Flash developer needs to know to pass the Certified Flash Developer exam....haha, yeah right! First of all it should say everything a developer needs to know about Flash to help pass...etc. The book does not mention scripting in ASP or any such middleware software to connect to a database. The Q/A's are wrong as well.....well most of them are correct but not too difficult. I recommend reading and using the Flash Bible and avoiding this book, unless you are an extemely knowledgeable in Flash Development, as with the errors you can not fully grasp the main idea of the book. I give it 2 and 1/2 stars. The cover should also be rewritten as it is misleading...."Everything a Flash Developer needs to know....etc"
I bought this book is to study up for the exam and example question, correct coding and information are an essential, BUT how can I study for the exam if this book is filled with errors?Am I suppose to develop an editor skill from this book besides knowing Flash?I do like the flow of the book, but the errors can make the information misleading leaving you puzzled.Someone should revise this book and send me a copy for free!And yes, the mysterious URL. I guess this book wants you to work on your web searching skills as well.
