Flash MX describes in great detail; not only the basics but also offers support to some of the most expert flash animators. Flash MX also teaches you how to : Add sound and embed video, Use Layers to build movie content, Create animation by using motion and shape "tweening" and to publish your animations on the web.

Flash Mx can also be used for a number of other things such as games,graphics and webpages.

Flash Mx can also be incorporated into other MX programs, like Dreamweaver (Web Design) and Fireworks (Graphics Program.)

Overall, I have learnt that Flash Mx is alot more versatile than it first seems.
