ActionScript 3.0 Cookbook: Solutions and Examples for Flash Developers
Joey Lott, Darron Schall, Keith Peters
Reviewed by: Ben Gomez Farrell
This is THE book you want to pick up if you already know Actionscript and you want to get caught up to speed on Actionscript 3 real fast. I started building something basic in Actionscript 3 from scratch, and I just referenced this book whenever I was stuck. If you're new to programming or new to Flash you may want to skip this book and pick up a more basic book, but for those that want to hit the ground running, and will get frustrated poring through chapters on the basics of Flash this is your book. For those that aren't familiar with Actionscript 2, but know other programming languages, this could also be a good book for you - but it will require a good level of programming savoire faire. Honestly, what can you really say about an O'Reilly Cookbook? It feels like I'm using a dictionary or encyclopedia to write a paper....it lives on your bookshelf, and you refer to it for 5 minutes, and then go back to your work with a complete understanding of what you wanted to know.
