Hi all,

Well I’ve reached the point when it’s about the time to kick AS 2 and move on to AS 3. I’ve always had the best luck getting to grips with the new format by experimenting, reading a decent flash book and trying out some of the on-line tutorials.

But the hardest thing at the moment is choosing which book to go with (so very many!); my Actionscript focus is predominantly with games design. So I was wondering if anyone had solid suggestions before I fork out and buy the thing.

Any AS books you have had particularly good luck with etc?

Thanks in advance
