Flash MX Audio Magic

Half of Flash is AUDIO, not just visual: Don't let bad sound ruin your great looking Flash site. Flash Audio Magic is organized into six projects-based sections, each of which contains several stepped-through tutorials for mastering a critical component of creating and integrating audio with Flash. These six sections are followed by four appendices completely covering the myriad resources on the book's CD and how to use them, keyboard shortcuts, bibliography (books and web sites), and more. The CD-ROM includes trail version of Flash, ACID Pro 3.0, copy of ACID Xpress, Vegas Audio 2.0, SoundForge XP, 4.5, library of ACID loops, FLA, SWF and WAV examples, list of online resources. Flash Audio Magic is not tied to a specific rev of Flash.
