Been using flash for a rather long time but I can’t get into really learning AS. Mostly been animating/drawing. Made a couple of primitive websites aswell.

I’d like a book because video tutorials seems to leave some stuff out. Just assuming that you know how some stuff work. And I cant really find a good tutorial on the actual AS. Just tutorials on how to do this and that. They say “use UpdateAfterEven();…” But they don’t explain what UpdateAfterEvent actually does(I know what it does, just an example).

I don’t know how much these books cost, But I thought I’d spend around 40USD. And they need to be able to ship to sweden =).

Thanks a bunch!
