I found this course to be far superior to material published by Adobe, especially the Adobe video series (which by comparison seemed haphazard and poorly organized.) This course presents an organized, "start to finish" approach using a typical example of a Flash project which illustrates all the basic and essential capabilities of Flash. I also appreciated the author's comments which often give a back story or historical context as to why a particular feature developed in a particular way, or why it acts the way it does. I would highly recommend this class to anyone as an introduction to the subject.
