Hello! I am looking for opinions on the best way to approach getting into actionscripting. I am a designer who wants to be able to learn as much as possible, and have been able to grasp some very basic concepts. I have not found many resources on the web that help really get an understanding of AS, so I am looking for a good book.  
I saw that some others recommended the Flash MX Designer’s ActionScript Reference from Friends of Ed. All guidance on this subject is appreciated  
😏 :crazy: :nerd: 🙂

I just started learning ActionScript a month ago and found the PeachPit Press book, Flash MX Advanced by Chun, to be a wonderful resource. It is the best book I’ve seen, once you take into account the price and coverage. I’ve also learned a lot from the tutorials on this forum.

I recommened ASDG2. You can buy it through this link:

[http://www.kirupa.com/store/flashbooks.asp](http://www.kirupa.com/store/flashbooks.asp)

Press on the first book, and you’ll be directed to a link where you can buy it.

Also, you might want to check ASDG2 reviews, which can be found here:
