Quite Worthless

I got this book under the guise that I would be able to create a website in Flash. I didn't need a fancy website, only something to house my online portfolio and CV for work-related purposes. This book does not tell you anywhere in the text, but you need at least Flash MX 2004. Flash 5--which I already had--wouldn't open the source files (not included, but available from the publisher's website--another flaw; CDs are VERY inexpensive to manufacture and one containing source files SHOULD have been included with the book), and neither would Flash MX. Of course, how are you supposed to know if the author doesn't tell you? The author completely operated under the assumption that EVERYONE would have the lastest version of Flash installed. This was a BIG mistake, and it renders the book worthless to many people.
