Interesting to hear. Thanks. (Though I must admit, some of the
negative reviews don't seem that "ignorant", but I take your point. Always good
to hear both sides, so I'm glad I asked.)

Subject: RE: Spiegel books (was RE: [CFCDev] MVCF at benorama.com)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.Scott Barnes
