share can make a positive difference in the quality and scalability
of code that you write. The path to mastery begins with syntax and
the mechanics of writing statements to make things happen. If
you've reached that point with PL/SQL, then let the authors of
Expert PL/SQL Practices show you how to combine syntax and
mechanics with features and techniques to really make the language
sing. You'll learn to do more with less effort, to write code that

The days of Flash as a creative luxury are long gone. After months
of downsizing, Flash creativity has been on a huge rationalization
program. It is no longer enough to present animation in millions of
colors and a hundred transparencies. It is no longer sufficient to
provide interactivity and dynamism for their own sake. The purpose
of this collection is to show how designers have taken Flash and
made it work for its supper. What we discover is a series of
creations that place Flash at the hub of cutting edge web content.
The end result is a snapshot of Flash as the ideal medium. In these
amazing examples, we see the software pushed to its limits to
create unbeatable applications-a collapsible family tree, an
interactive video learning system, and a drawing tool, capable of
running online! Beyond this, we dip into the back-end capabilities
to look at how to improve Flash still further. Some staple XML and
PHP routines are brought in to add a bit of spice, while Flash's
mysterious sharedObject command is hunted down and tamed to create
a hybrid Tamagotchi houseplant-perfectly suited to lure surfers
back to your website!

most common needs for the Flash designer. First off, Jamie McDonald
provides five chapters on site presentation and the principles of
web design. These opening chapters take a look at how to create
slick, professional-level sites, involving Flash MXis new drawing
and motion capabilities and interactive techniques. The second
section concentrates on ActionScript. Flashis resident coding
environment is crucial to master, and taps into Flashis great
strength n intuitive and interactive applications. Keith Peters and
Todd Yard have buddied up on this section, and examine some of the
