Hi Y’all!
I’m very new to flash and graphics and want to learn basic and some advanced features of flash (both the gui, graphics/drawing and action script) is there a book you all recommend?
THANK YOU!
Karina

I like the new Adobe press Flash 8 book, it’s a good read.

The Flash Bible’s from Wiley are good… exhaustive, and we all know that Robert Reinhardt knows his stuff :).
And of course you can get the new Foundation Flash 8 book from FriendsOfEd
[http://www.friendsofed.com/book.html?isbn=1590595424](http://www.friendsofed.com/book.html?isbn=1590595424)
It’s a good read as well.

Hey, i just want to plug ‘PHP5 for Flash’ here too, it’s from Friends of Ed by David Powers. It is by far THE book to read to learn dynamic data in flash. If you want to learn how to wrangle a Flash/PHP/MySQL site with ease, please BUY THIS BOOK
