Colin Moocks’ ASDG V2 is for Flash MX; you may have bought the older version ☹ That is a good book though.
Cheers!

It takes you from knowing nothing to knowing everything. I am at the begining still so I still know nothing 🙂 But it’s very in depth…

Any of them good to read, the book I bought is reall good to read and flows easily, I usualy don’t enjoy the ‘bible books’ much… but yes they do contain alot of info. If you can, can you guys elaborate why those books are good?

I have several, several, too many Flash MX books. The best I have found is Actionscripting in Flash MX (published by New Riders). The Moock book is good reference, better than the builtin help, but the book I mentioned has no equal when it comes to explanations.

RussianBeer , if you go to Amazon you can actually check out some pages from the books you would like to check out , The two ahmed mentioned i have ordered. Still waiting!. But i found that they were two of the best books out now, especially moock’s. Even macromedia recommend that book at there site. :beam:
::remember to get the **second edition** of Moock’s book.
