The authors cull from their professional experience of running their own digital media company to explain the special considerations in deploying Flash video applications, presenting ideas for solutions as well as tips for avoiding the most common pitfalls.

GOOD CONCEPTS MINUS THE TYPOS

I recenttly purchased this book. The methods of implementation for the codes and classes are very helpful. The structures and tips are clear and introduce high-level design concepts. The one thing that I feel should be noted is that this first edition has errors in the codes listed as examples in the book. I had to download their sample files from Sybex to get the functional code, which works fine. The code from the book produced compile time errors. Amongst the most notable ones: Codes do not show which Classes need to be imported in AS3, and typos that can be hard to catch for students unfamiliar with AS2 and AS3. It's a good start and I think the second edition should catch these errors.

A Book for Streaming Video Professionals

As video prolieferates on the Web, developers who want to add Flash video to their resume are going to need this book. It is definitely for intermediate to advanced users, but that's exactly what's needed for all of the nuances that go into Flash video. So if you're a newbie in either Flash or video, you might want to pump some intellectual iron before jumping in at this level.

The materials covered range from project planning to using bitmaps to create special effects and everything in between. One of my favorite gems in this book (in addition to all of the great graphics) is Jim Kremens contribution of a hand-built player using a Model View Controller design. It is a delight to behold and kicks up everyone's skills a notch or two. Also, it gives the reader and excellent player for customized player design. The examples are written in both ActionScript 2.0 and 3.0 so that in this period of transition between the two versions, you not only pick up techniques for writing Flash Media Server code but some ActionScript 3.0 to boot.

So if you're looking to start doing Flash video professionally, this is going to be an important step to take. Besides, it's clear and well-written; so that always helps. If you like this stuff like I do, you'll have a lot of fun as well.

Review:

excellent

Very good. Covers entire process from encoding to deployment. Covers development process and best practices. Offers clear explanations that are niether opaque to a novice nor overly-simple to experienced developers. Also covers oop, as well as samples in both AS2.0 and AS3.0. There has been a need for a book like this for about two years.

Flash Video

This book walks you through all phases of deploying Flash Video - from project planning and post-production to integration with your website.

There's a good mix of theory and practice in Flash Video for Professionals. The theory side includes things like targeting your audience by determining which video features your clients might want, which version of the Flash Player you want to support, best practices when encoding your video (like choosing a bitrate), and the relative pros and cons of streaming vs. progressive download delivery.

Practice would include detailed step-by-step instructions on how to set up your player, the specific code you need to insert into Flash 8 to achieve that setup, and step-by-step instructions on how to use FMS2 (e.g. uploading a file, inserting an RTMP connection path).

Overall this book is a comprehensive look at Flash Video in both the planning/decision making realm, and the hands-on "roll up your sleeves" process of following through and doing it. It's also up to date and will give you a some working knowledge of what's going on in the Flash Video world right now.
