Fábio Pedrosa Laughable As a flash programmer I bought this book based on my interest to deploy applications/games for the console (Wii).
I regret my decision ever since.
This book is ridiculous for any Flash programmer. Its a complete shame, it tours the reader through flash giving you almost no information about the platform we want to deploy. Just a simple flash guide.
The truth is, Wii flash support is very limited (as Adobe says), and the author is just trying to make some money without acknowledge this.
A plain example of this is the lack of controller interactivity. Although the editorial review speaks about "Integrate unconventional mouse and Wii controller interactivity", the book only tries to use the mouse positions and click's because that's all the flash supports in this platform. There's no official way of detecting the controllers button state or accelerometer info.
