Revisions are even more challenging because as an author, you’re constantly trying to remember what it was you wrote back in the first version of a product and whether it’s still relevant. There is, however, a team of folks that are there to keep you on the ball, and for that I’m always grateful. Steve Hayes, our acquisition editor, continues to ask me and Andy to do these books, so a big thank you there! On this revi- sion, Susan Christophersen was a tremendous shepherd of the book and my general lazy tendencies. Without her cheerful e-mails, we’d be late, or later, if you prefer! And a fine thank you to Ron Rockwell for all his vigilance in keep- ing us accurate. And to all the other production folks, thank you for making us all look good. Andy Cowitt: Thanks to the Cowitts, Wertzes, and Saraccos, with special nods to Michael and to Damon. Also, props to Mike and all my other col- leagues past and present at the California HealthCare Foundation. Jennifer and Christopher Smith: Thanks to all our friends and colleagues at Adobe Systems for their support, encouragement, and faith in all our work, especially surrounding the Creative Suite 3 launch: Jane, Joe, Ron, Dave, Donna, Ali, Noha, Lynn, Adam, Jeffrey, Lori, Richard, and the many product team members who responded to our questions throughout the writing process. A special thank you also to Fred Gerantabee, the master of all things Flash. Thanks for your significant contributions to this book. Thank you also to Yvette Grimes for assistance in updating information. To the highly professional instructional staff at Aquent Graphics Institute (AGI), we appreciate your great insight into the best ways to help others learn creative software applications. Thanks to all at Wiley Publishing. This book involves a lot of detail and infor- mation, and it was up to Melody Lane, acquisitions editor for our three mini- books in this book, and her “tough love” to make sure that it got to the state it is now. Thanks to Kelly Ewing and technical editor Cathy Auclair for the great insight. Grant, Elizabeth, and Edward — thanks for putting up with our long hours in front of the keyboard night after night. Thanks to all of Kelly’s friends for permission to use their photos. 01_120996 ffirs.qxp 7/12/07 11:54 PM Page v 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/.
