This was an excellent book. Great ideas on how to construct a cartoon charachter and animate it. Covers everything on creating a basic Flash Cartoon animation. As with many books though, the accompanying material is incomplete. Some of the files Mr. Clarkson refers to in his book and states that they're on the CD Rom are missing --- One in particular that I wanted to work with was the file "Labels and Buttons.FLA". But, even without the CD, the book is worth more than twice the cost.
