Assumptions This Book Makes

This book is not a typical reference book or training guide. We necessarily assume that you are already familiar with the basics of Flash.

We also assume that if you are reading this book, you are most interested in Flashbased, authoring time, non-ActionScript solutions. For example, it is technically possible to animate programmatically with ActionScript; however, the non-ActionScript timeline tween solution is emphasized in this book. It’s possible that an ActionScript solution is either necessary or better in some circumstances, and, in those cases, we provide the ActionScript solution either by itself or in addition to a non-ActionScript solution. If you are looking for a book that focuses on ActionScript solutions, you may want to consider a different book.
