A thing that you could do, is purchase the book at a book store near you (barnes & Nobles is a good one), and if it doesnt have what you need, you can return it.

I wouldnt go with that one…i havent read it…but i have one by that co for java…and i lost interest verry fast. …try these
Macromedia Flash MX 2004 actionscript

this one is really good ive been looking into it for a while now has alot of helpful stuff on acripting…its not just for games
and this one
Macromedia Flash MX 2004 Game Programming
[http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1592000363/qid=1094742512/sr=ka-1/ref=pd\_ka\_1/002-6778481-6724823](http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/1592000363/qid=1094742512/sr=ka-1/ref=pd_ka_1/002-6778481-6724823)
this one starts you off learning to make a Defender game where your a space ship that fights off rows of alien ships…has alot of helpful info on building games
in retrospect the books are both verry helpful but i found my self in the actionscripting book the most.

OK, thanks for suggestions - I just fancied something very heavy on AI … although of course, we do have Marz’s excellent resources here!
I’ve got Macromedia Flash MX 2004 Game Programming and would also recommend it to anyone who hasn’t.
I’m also a big fan of this book - pretty detailed, but I’m always going back to it:

Friends of Ed are always a good bet :¬)
