Who is this book for?

This book is written for developers who wish to build dynamic Flash applications, whose content is governed from a CMS. Although we will be using Drupal for our CMS, the lessons learned within this book can easily be applied to other content management systems such as Joomla or WordPress. Because of this, it is not assumed that you are familiar with how to use Drupal, and any interaction with Drupal will be described in full detail so that anyone can follow along. As for Flash, it is not necessary to be familiar with how to use Flash since the basics will also be covered in detail within this book. However, it is recommended that you have a modest understanding of ActionScript 3.0 and PHP, since there will be many code samples in this book. With that said, let's get started!
