Having noticed my work with Adobe Livemotion 1, The McGraw-Hill Companies, contacted me to author a book entitled "Livemotion 2: A Beginner's Guide". The 540 page book, which took me 9 months to write was the very first book to come out after the software was released. The flash-based application released by Adobe Systems on which the book was written on, was in beta phase at the time. I not only took part in learning the new version of the software while writing the book, but also participated as an Adobe Systems beta tester for the software. The book was aimed at educating readers on creating flash-based content. The application was discontinued a year later with Adobe's purchase of Macromedia. Several interface features of Livemotion 2 are now a part of Adobe Systems’ Flash software.
