Flash CS3: The Missing Manual

This isn't the first Flash CS3 book review I've written so I have an idea of what to look for in a text on this topic. The other book, published by Adobe Press, received some less than complementary reviews on Amazon based on the report that steps were missing, keeping the reader from being able to adequately learn the technology. This point has been contested since I've heard from the author and his review of the book found no such flaws. While I thought the Adobe Press book was pretty good all and all, it's time to find out if this "Missing Manual" can rival or better...stand above the competition.

The authors are both "Missing Manual" veterans so I know they are familiar with the style and format of this series, but for the most part, their background is based in Microsoft solutions. Since Adobe is a different breed of cat, will their expertise stand up? I have no reason to doubt this, of course. It's not like someone who knows Microsoft products can't also be well versed in the software offerings of other vendors. And as far as I know, Flash does what no other software can do... Microsoft not withstanding.
