The lessons in this book assume that you are a beginner with Flash but that you are familiar with the basic methods of using commands on a Windows or Macintosh computer, such as choosing items from menus, opening and saving files, and so on. For more information on those tasks, see the documentation provided with your computer.
Finally, the instructions in the book also assume that you have Flash MX installed on a Windows or Macintosh computer, and that your computer meets the system requirements listed on the next page.
