I’ve been looking at books for Flash Game Programming/Design and I’d like to see which one you guys recommend.
Book 1: [Macromedia Flash Mx 2004 Game Programming by Craig Murray and Justing Everett-Church](http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/1592000363/qid=1072476425//ref=sr_8_xs_ap_i1_xgl14/103-2048197-1436611?v=glance&s=books&n=507846)
Book 2: [Macromedia Flash MX Game Design Demystified by Jobe Makar](http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/0201770210/ref=pd_bxgy_img_2/103-2048197-1436611?v=glance&s=books)
Or another book all together. Which would you’d recommend?
btw- I have Flash MX 2004 if it makes a difference

heh I know your joking but I’m suprised that the Idiots series doesn’t have a book out titled just that.

I have the latter book you mentioned, it’s good, though it might be slightly outdated now that mx 2004 and electroserver 3.0 are out. Also, some of the algorthims the book provides have flaws in them. Over all though, it was a great read! 🙂
