Synopsis

Finally! Not just another Flash book. Build three of the most sought-after web applications from Jessica Speigel, co-founder of one of the most popular Flash resources-were-here.com. Flash MX Application Design and Development shows serious Flash developers how to create sophisticated, real-world applications using Macromedia Flash MX.

By deconstructing three high-caliber, well-designed web applications, Speigel provides all the techniques necessary to successfully create these applications for your own web sites. In addition, each project is broken down into easily digested chapters that include explanations for using the supplied server-side code in a project-based format.

In no time, you will create a full-featured e-commerce site; a multiplayer game featuring speech bubble chat and theme game rooms; and an online community complete with forum, user registration, and search capabilities! Flash MX Application Design and Development also serves as an excellent resource for Flash developers, including a generous share of tips, pitfalls, usability notes, and "Whys" that explain why the author employs a certain technique and explores alternative methods.
