Miss you, kiddo! Bill Sanders: Dedicated to my folks, William and Eleanor Sanders. Authors’ Acknowledgments Doug Sahlin: Thanks to Steve Hayes, for making this project possible. Kudos to my coauthor, Bill Sanders, for his knowledge of ActionScript and for being a great guy to work with. A tip of the hat to project editor extraordinaire Kim Darosett, for keeping my inbox full and making this a better book. Thanks to Rebecca Whitney, for understanding my sense of humor, being a kindred spirit, and manicuring the text in this book to perfection. Kudos to the entire Wiley publishing team — you guys and gals are the greatest! Special thanks to Margot Hutchison, for being legally blonde and the best agent an author could hope for. As always, thanks to my friends, mentors, and fellow authors for your support and inspiration. Special thanks to my family, especially you, Karen and Ted. A tip of the hat too to Niki, the furball who shares my space, who is also known as Queen of the Universe. Bill Sanders: Thanks to Doug Sahlin for being a perfect coauthor, knowl- edgeable, and amiable. The folks at Adobe were most helpful in providing assistance with queries about Flash as were fellow designers and developers who share the Flash adventure. Steve Hayes and Kim Darosett deftly steered the project and myself through the unique style of this series. Likewise, I want to thank Kathy Simpson, Becky Whitney, and James Russell who con- tributed to the copy and developmental editing. I imagined them having a tag team to replace each other as they fell exhausted from my manuscript, and after being given a stiff shot of brandy, gamely returning to do battle with the tome. Danilo Celic did the technical editing made sure that all the code worked as promised, and I’m glad he did! Margot Hutchinson did her usual marvelous job of bringing author and publisher together. My wife Delia was as supportive as always. My dogs WillDe and Ruby liked the fact that I was available for a pat on the head and so encouraged further writing. 01_385395-ffirs.indd vii 01_385395-ffirs.indd vii 10/28/08 7:59:15 PM 10/28/08 7:59:15 PM Publisher’s Acknowledgments We’re proud of this book; please send us your comments through our online registration form located at www.dummies.com/register/.
