Just bought my first Flash book ‘Foundation Macromedia Flash MX 2004’ by Kristian Besley and Sham Bhangal. Good book. It starts right at the beginning and works up to the more complicated stuff. Plus, it’s very well written and easy to read. It cost 21 freekin’ quid so I won’t be buying any more Flash books for a while.

What are some other good Flash books? Particularly with regard to learning ActionScript 2.0 from basic to complex.
