Reviewing Animation and Effects with Macromedia Flash MX 2004 (Reviewed by: Rafiq R. Elmansy)

In her book, Animation and Effects with Macromedia Flash MX 2004, Jen DeHaan covered the animation effects techniques in Flash MX 2004.

Jen started her book with a fast introduction to Flash MX 2004, and then she moved on to the animation techniques in Flash, motion tweening, shape tweening and frame by frame animation.

Also, she did not miss to mention the animation using action script. And in the end of the book, she included useful appendixes about publishing SWF, time line effects and keyboard shortcuts.

However, this book is a good reference for intermediate designers and developers that want to get a solid background on the animation in Flash MX 2004.
