I looked at a Friends Of Ed book once, something about Math tricks in Flash. It was the best Flash book I had ever seen, but unfortunatly it cost a bit much for me at the time. The guys from Bit-101 and [Levitated.net](http://Levitated.net) were both in it, along with 6 or 8 others. Maybe I’ll go get that book really soon.

I didn’t even know they were releasing a new version, so I don’t know what it supports. That would rock though, at least dynamic .gifs would if not dynamic .pngs.
