Flash Remoting: The Definitive Guide Review by Brian
Make sure you know what you want!!
This book covers PRE ACTIONSCRIPT 2.0 REMOTING!! It is very important you understand this. FlashMX 2004 (standard and professional) have components that handle most of this. The notion of flash remoting has really evolved now, and is a function of the Flash editor more than just a bunch of included actionscript files. New developers should definately spend some google time to ensure they understand what they are getting. All that aside, this is a great book for anyone wanting to learn Flash Remoting with Actionscript < 2.0. Tom Muck presents information thoroughly and it was not hard to pick up this version of flash remoting. This book would have been given 5 stars if it were not for 2 things, 1) its out of date in my opinion, MX2004 is the standard now, and 2) the book added weight and pages b/c of the ever present language "reference" that is available if you have the flash editor, and if you don't then you don't need the book.. It peevs me that editors/publisher constantly waste paper on organic information like language references.
