Because this massive, 50-page chapter took so long to release, I felt bad about selling it, so I've decided to make this one another free chapter. If you get a lot from it though, I wouldn't say no to a small donation :D

Chapter 2 covers all of the Flash CS3 tools that the animator will need. Written as a practical guide rather than a technical manual, you can either read the chapter from start to finish, or just skip directly to the parts you want from the Table of Contents.
