Hello,
I’m looking into learning ActionScript 2.0, so i started looking for online tutorials. While some were very helpfull, there was just not an abondant amount available. Albeit, i didn’t look all too hard, but i did look on amazon.com for some books on actionscript and flash 8. To my surprise there was a flash 8 bible available. Now i’ve had great success with the ‘bible’ books, I perchased the 3ds max 7 bible. That was extremely usefull, didn’t have to search for another max7 tutorial again. Now the thing about 3ds Max is that you learn by doing, obviously. When you do a tutorial it shows you step by step how to do a certain thing in the program. That’s just how i learn, but i tried to learn C++ coding once, for about a day. That just didn’t work out due to the way the “tutorials” were set up. I can’t just read an article about a certain program entity and be able to use it in the future for whatever project i’m doing. I have to read something about it and have the tutorial tell me how to do it myself. If there’s no hands on experimentation, it just doesn’t stick.
Judging by the way the Flash 8 and ActionScript tutorials are set up on the internet however, they seem to be hands on learning. I just want to find a lot of them. Which is where Flash 8 bible comes in. I was just wondering who’s bought one of these books and what they thought about how the book was written and how the tutorials were set up.
Thanks in advance,
me
