Hi there,

I have been on a hunt to seek out the best book on flash mx 2004 which is geared towards animation rarther then applications/forms and the web side of things. I wish to under go a porject soon where I want to develop an animation (short movie) something like the openning scene of [www.2advanced.com](http://www.2advanced.com) except using images and cool effects/transitions.

I am fairly new to Flash although I do understand the basic elements of tweening and keyframes. I think you can just class me as a newb to flash. Although, I have advance knowledge in Photoshop, 3d Studo Max and other software.

Does anyone have any recommendations of books dealing with the animation side of flash?

[edit]

so far I have found [this](http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/032130344X/ref=pd_sim_b_dp_2/026-9826783-4000400) , any opinions?
