ActionScript book

Can any one recommend a good ActionScript book.

I am looking for a book that will give some examples of simple actionscript, how to use them, maybe how not to use them.
Through to harder ActionScript (not advanced)

Also quite like to have a section, or separate book, that has a list of ActionScript ‘tags’ (dont know what to call them).

Really does need to start at a basic level because I am just starting out.

Thankyou

I have read through almost all AS books and probably will recommend you the good 'ole Adobe Press Flash 8 Actionscript book. Pretty good.

I would recommend “Flash actionscript Bible”

“Help! i cant see over the dash! Do you have a phone book?!” said Dhryn. To that Bombsledder replied “Why no, but i do have the ‘Flash actionscript Bible’, It’s twice as thick.”. Dhryn shrieked with joy “Thanx Bombsledder, that really helps.”

Press F1 - it’s free :wink:

:lol: or to be really different,http://livedocs.macromedia.com/ if you want to read it outside of flash.

well, i bought the “Flash actionscript bible” and it really helped me to learn flash with all the examples tutorials, definations, i mean when it really did because it goes over almost every function you can use. which is really good the one i have even goes over how to make a game, in mine they wen’t over making a hangman game which was really cool sooo… it recommend this book

Thankyou for your feed back, I think I will invest in the “Flash actionscript bible”.
