UNCONFIRMED  errors and comments from readers: 


[19] "Gem in the Rough" section, bottom of page 19;
Page 19 link should be http://www.webvisionsevent.com/podcasts/2005/WV05_Alan_Knecht.mp3


{38} #3;
#3 - the rolling_ball.fla example file is already 720px x 80px not 800px x 600px.


(284) Step 3;
Incorrect extension is used for referred file name: User is instructed to choose "building_implode.mov" 
downloaded from the Missing Manual website. Actual file provided is "building_implode.fla", a Flash video 
file, which is not the same as a .mov file. Since the lesson is about embedding a QuickTime file into the 
Flash timeline, it negates the intent of the tutorial.

Also, in Step 2 just before, user is instructed to click "Browse", although the actual button is labeled 
"Choose" (indicated in the illustration at top of page 284); this could be a Mac/Windows naming convention 
issue, but it is apparent that screen shots were taken from Mac OSX.

This references a screen cast on Flash's prebuilt behaviours on mising manuals.com that does not exist. on 
the screencasts page


{410} 3" down from tope (paragraph 1).;
Chapter 13 file "reverse_debug.fla" is empty and specifically has no action script (which is what the tutorial is all 
about).

I checked again today to download and still no action script


{410} 3rd paragraph;
file reverse_debug.fla is blank


(413) 1st paragraph;
example of ActionScript code reads:
if (_currentframe > 1) {
trace("currFrame is " + _currentframe);
prevFrame();

the { at the end of the top line should be omitted


(415) 3rd paragraph;
"1, Select Control>Debug Movie."
Debug Movie is actually a button on the Menu bar, not under the Control menu.
