Thanks to all the pros on the Missing Manual team who worked to get this book into your hands. A special thanks again to Nan Barber, whose skill, patience, and planning has guided several of my books from concept to printing press. Thanks also to Karen Shaner who helped coordinate the manuscript files flying back and forth and to Julie Van Keuren for her copy editing eagle eye. Speaking of eagle eyes, many thanks to Tina Spargo, one of my technical reviewers, for taking a fresh look at the text and exercises in this book. A special thanks to Keith Gladstien for his technical review and thoughts on Flash. His experience as a Flash master was much appreciated. Thanks again to Joyce, my wife, whose love, proofreading, and understanding help me in everything I do.
The Missing Manual Series
Missing Manuals are witty, superbly written guides to computer products that don't come with printed manuals (which is just about all of them). Each book features a handcrafted index; cross-references to specific pages (not just chapters); and RepKover, a detached-spine binding that lets the book lie perfectly flat without the assistance of weights or cinder blocks.
