Yeah
thats the book.
I've
read the reviews, and i personally put them down to the fact that people
expected this book to be a "OOP How To" book. The objective of the book seems to
be distorted, and for that I'd also give it a negative, but I have read it and I
noted the way in which she starts a FlashMX project and to me she tackles
something traditionally very "visual" in a way like I have rarely seen
before.
I thin
the core objective of this book is not "how to make components" or not "how to
program in OOP with FlashMX" its more of "how to start/finish a flashmx
project".
I've
adopted alot of her concepts in my FlashMX/CFMX development, especially due to
the fact that our core application here uses DHTML/FMX/CFMX/FCOM etc so I have
to keep things neat, clean and nicely tucked in their own pigeon
wholes.
In my
view, its worth the read despite the negative ignorant based reviews, especially
for those who understand FlashMX and need a "methodology" to use as a
reference.

Subject: Spiegel books (was RE: [CFCDev] MVCF at benorama.com)Scott, are you referring below to "Flash MX Application Design and Development"? I had considered the book but was quite persuaded (or rather, dissuaded) by the pretty uniformly unhappy reviews at Amazon (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0735712425/ref=cm_rev_all_1/104-9729072-7756721?v=glance&s=books&n=507846&vi=customer-reviews), and therefore didn't give it a chance. Are you referring to another book, or were you able to look past the forest for the trees(Trees again? Must be spring...and my the view of the woods behind my house!)/charlie-----Original Message-----

Subject: RE: [CFCDev] MVCF at benorama.comI've read them both, and Sam and Brandons book doth rox0rs. :DI'd also like to throw in Jessica Spiegels book (formerly were-here.com) on Component development for those budding FlashMX developers out there, she has a neat way of component development.
