[.ca] Adobe(R) LiveMotion(R) Classroom in a Book (ISBN 020170322X)

Save your money.....................:
It's bad enough that the manuals Adobe ships with products are of little use but it's an absolute insult that you buy an after-market book which is published by Adobe only to find it too is riddled with mistakes, omissions, silly tututorials (not all) that have little to do with 'real world' web development situations. I returned mine and got a refund so a big Thank You to AMEX for protecting their card holders.

Riddled with errors:
I've only gone through Lesson 5 and part of Lesson 6 and I've found several errors. Some are omissions, some might have been product changes while the book was being published. The omissions are unforgivable. You cannot just click on one keyframe, drag the current-time marker to another place and then change Transform settings and expect something to happen. You need another keyframe. These omissions have occurred at least 5 times now in 21 pages. I want my money back. If you buy this book, you should have already dinked around with the program or you're SOL. Otherwise, you'll be quite PO'd. (If you don't know these abbreviations, ask a sailor or someone.)

More poor Adobe writing:
Adobe writers simply do not know their product, nor do the techs. I find many errors, and agree with the review from Plano.

Wish I would of paid attention to the other reviews:
I'm extremely disappointed with LiveMotion 2.0 classroom in a book. I've had really great luck with other classroom books, but this one is terrible. I totally agree with all the other negative reviews of this book, don't buy it! A 10 year old could do a better job then the writers of this book did!

LiveMotion Classroom in a Book:
This set of reviews are confusing because LiveMotion 2 came out in 2002 and so did the book on LiveMotion 2. However, the positive reviews for this book were written in 2000 and 2001 and I therefore suspect they are about the 1st edition of the book which relates to LiveMotion 1. The negative remarks are most likely about the book on LiveMotion 2.
