...but not really.
I feel a little bit scammed. The title is true, but misleading. What it really is is an adequate introduction to programming in ActionScript. Then there is a brief description of how to sign up (as in "pay")for the Internet capability of the Wii, and the reader is directed to upload the game he or she has created and to play it online using the Wii. Since I have been programming Flash games ...

However, the interface is horrible: a video tutorial without the ability to pause? Clicking most things on the menu will crash the program, too. It was a very frustrating experience. I found it most useful to explore the disc and find the actual quicktime files so I could pause ...
