So I looked around for books and this is what I got.

Flash MX: Advanced ActionScript  
Macromedia Flash MX ActionScript for Fun and Games  
Flash MX Games: ActionScript for Artists

Well looking at those titles. It depends on what you want to do with the power of AS. Gaming, site development, or backend (DB type stuff).

I bought the ActionScript for Artists book…its not the best written in the world, but it had some great code examples, and was pretty easy to follow. Especially if you’re thinking about gaming, its a great book to work through.

Otherwise, the Bible’s are generally pretty good.
