Does anybody recommend any books for those who are beginners to Flash?

Just curious - Posting simple problems for you guys might make you a bit frustrated… I know you guys like a challenge.

another good book is the Visual QuickStart Guide. i own a copy of the flash mx visual quickpro, which is good once you understand the quickstart.
