Structured into five major sections, not including a basic introduction, the book covers every function and feature, from a discussion of "Drawing and Graphic Objects" through "Movie Principles," "Making Movies," "Interactivity," and "Testing and Publishing." Each section is broken down into fewer than six short chapters (some sections have as few as two), and each chapter is written precisely and with enough illustrations and text to deliver the point. While not the deepest book on Flash, it certainly is a concentrated dose.

The index is organized uniquely by subject categories, which can be both a plus and a minus. While this is handy for beginners who are looking for information on a general topic, it makes it difficult to find a specific command or feature if you don't know already what category it falls under.
