Ok, before I get flammed, I got into SwishMax when the introduced action scripting. It’s been 2 years since I used Flash, and it was Flash5. I am able to produce quality sites with SwishMax. I know I need to make the switch to Flash in order to get more work. I opened up FlashMX2004 last night. I can’t make heads or tails of anything, even the easiest stuff like a button roll-over.

Are there any good books or tuts that will help me get a handle on how to use flash, and understand some of the examples .fla files that are available?

Please be nice.
