Ok… I have broken down and desided that I need to buy some books to really get the most out of Flash… I have bought the following books and rated them from those thinking about buying as well… Can anyone else recommend a good book to learn from or one that really related the information well?

Sams Teach Yourself Macromedia Flash MX 2004 in 24 Hours ~~\> 4.5 out of 5 Stars…  
I have always loved Sam’s Teach Yourself books… very easy to get your  
head around. Plenty of pictures and examples… Highly recommend it.

Foundation PHP 5 for Flash ~~\> 4 out of 5 Stars…  
This is an awesome book for those looking to link up Flash and Php. its only a little light on visual examples, so if you are a visual learner (like me) you may find this book a little difficult in places. But the amount of information is staggering. I have only just scratched the surface and I am already feeling more confident about scripting. Highly recommend it.
