Flex Builder 3 Review
This is a review that is kind of odd to write. I've been using Flex Builder 3 for such a long time that I'm now having a hard time remembering how Flex Builder 2 was. It's strange how public betas and the new open policy at Adobe changed this. The Flex 3 release offers nothing new in terms of Flash Player features but the new IDE, an expanded SDK and authoring for the AIR runtime is definitely worth the upgrade.
Adobe Flash CS3 Professional Video Studio Techniques
Robert Reinhardt is a definitive Flash veteran. His Flash Bible book series is one of the standard books on Flash that cover every aspect of it. Video is one of Robs favorite subjects and it shines though in this highly specialized book.
ActionScript 3.0 Game Programming University
This could easily be the shortest reviews I've ever written. GET THE BOOK! Period. No more words would be needed as this is a very good book. However, I get credited per word, so I'll have to continue (of course this is a joke, but nevertheless there is more to be said).
Review: SWF2Go
SWF2Go is a really niche product that proves the size and variety of the Flash Platform. It's software that will let you make signed SIS installers that makes distributing your Flash Lite applications for Nokia phones really easy.
Review: Kindisoft SecureSWF
If our recent review of Flash decompilers has left you feeling a little uneasy about the vulnerability of your code, then Kindisoft might have just the thing for you. SecureSWF is an Actionscript obfuscator that aims to protect your files from scrutiny. So how does it work? FlashMagazine decided to put it to the test.
Teach yourself Visually Flash CS3 Professional
Teach yourself Visually Flash CS3 Professional is a book that targets those completely new to Flash, and even takes into account that the reader might not know the difference between a double and a single click.
Review: Hollywood 2D Digital Animation - The New Flash Production Revolution
Most Flash books are about the Flash software itself. This one rather tells you how to become an animator, how to produce quality animation, how to do special effects and how to succeed in the animation business. All of this - using Flash as your tool.
Review: Trillix Flash Decompiler 3
Back in February we took a look at the Flash Optimizer from Flash tools developer, Eltima. The Frankfurt based company has just released their long awaited 'Trillix Flash Decompiler 3', so we've taken the PC version out for a spin.
Book review: Flash CS3 for Dummies
I never had very high thoughts about the 'Whatever for Dummies'-series, but this book has changed my mind. It's actually the best Flash beginners book I've read to date and it's also the first "real" CS3 book as well. Want to know why? Read on.
Book Review: Flash CS3 - The Missing Manual
This is the first book in the Missing Manual series we're reviewing and it is also one of few Flash books written by professional tech writers. Is this a good idea? We were actually sceptical after reading just the third sentence.
