Re: FLASH: actionscripting books

[fritz]

> Should I get the Flashbible? I read a review on Amazon.com and it said

to be a big disappointment. Any other books maybe?


the flash 4 bible is an all-in-wonder book. it covers many many topics

in the world of flash production. only one of those is actionscript. i

think the total amount of pages that directly deal with actionscript is

50, and most of those are consumed by an action-by-action account of

interactivity in flash (only about 15 pages on programming language

fundamentals). still, the information is useful to most.


alternately, flash 4 magic is a book dedicated completely to

actionscript. it presents a series of projects that are

actionscript-based. this book is generally liked by people but has been

criticized by a few for having too much cutting and pasting and not

enough instructional information.


you can view samples of the actionscript material in the flash 4 bible

at my site:

note also that flashkit.com has literally hundreds of actionscript

sample .flas, and some tutorials.


good luck finding a book.
