Studio MX Bible
Co-authored by Ron Rockwell

Ron wrote the FreeHand section of this 1100-page book. It is written primarily to FreeHand 10, as that is what shipped with the original Macromedia Studio MX. But towards the end of the writing process, FreeHand MX went into beta, so there is a chapter that deals with all the new toys and tools that FreeHand MX has to offer. This is the first book to explore FreeHand MX, and was published within days of the program's release.

This book deals with the interactivity of all the programs in the Studio: FreeHand, Fireworks, Dreamweaver, Flash, and ColdFusion. Through a series of projects, the interactivity between the programs becomes apparent and easy to grasp.
