This probably isn’t the best place to post this but i guess it is sorta relative since it is about action scripting…so heres my question… i’ve decided finally that i need one of these AS books as i always get extremely confused :\*( . so i was wondering what books the good guys on this board use or started with. I need some to help with a bitta the basics since i havn’t started long ago. I heard that ‘Action Scripting the definitive guide’ is good, do you guys agree? i’m still deciding…oh yea this is for flash mx by the way…thx ---

I’d say that if you want a good scripting book, go for anything published by O’Reilly. They’re really in depth. ---

ASDG 2 for Flash MX is for Flash MX, don’t worry :beam: But once again, ask yourself if you want to become a hardcore actionscripter, of if you want to learn how to create cool effects… pom 🙂
