I just got Flash MX 2004 and I would like to get a good book for a beginner on Actionscripting. I’m not really a programmer, I’m an artist (check my sig to see some of my artwork). I catch on to programs quickly, but I’m looking for a book that might be good for a designer/artist to learn actionscripting, not a programmer. I’m in the process of designing my new site and have some cool ideas, but they all need actionscripting to pull off. Any advice on a book is much appreciated.
