I was in your predicament a couples months ago, and I found a great “out of print” book here:

> **[ActionScript: The Definitive Guide: Mastering Flash Programming](https://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/1565928520/ref=pd_sim_books_3/104-3595060-8207958?v=glance&s=books)**
>
> Given its ability to deliver high-impact experiences even over low-bandwidth connections, Flash has become the de facto standard for hundreds of thousands of multimedia web developers worldwide.Flash ...

I bought a new/used book from the seller “patriotbooks” and it only cost me like 5 bucks. It’s got everything you need in it. I also found this website:

[http://www.actionscript.org/tutorials.shtml](http://www.actionscript.org/tutorials.shtml)

very helpful.
