Somewhat useful information in an almost unusable format. Does learning have to be this frustrating? I don't think so.

The content of the turorials are clear and useful - they provide good insight into game development in ActionScript 3.0. 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 and rewind when necessary.
