I bought that book too. It is the worst computer book I have ever read. At their talk they gave on the subject at MAX a couple of years ago (it could have been flash forward), Joey Lott kept having to correct them from the audience. He was so nice about it, but it was pretty obvious they didn't know what they were talking about.

LOL. Another XML and Flash book to avoid is "Flash and XML: A Developer's Guide" by Dov Jacobsen and Jesse Jacobsen. Very pretty, but filled full of off-topic stuff and hardly anthing you can make much use of, let alone understand. Not only that, filled full of Flash worst-practices. I wasted a good $35 on that one a few years back. Should have plopped into one of those cushy chairs at Borders and skimmed for a good while instead of making a quick impulse buy. Anyway, just have to get that off my chest =:) Jason Merrill Bank of America Learning & Organizational Effectiveness _______________________________________________ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com _______________________________________________ Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com To change your subscription options or search the archive: http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders Brought to you by Fig Leaf Software Premier Authorized Adobe Consulting and Training http://www.figleaf.com http://training.figleaf.com
