By the way, in case anybody was wondering, I ended up picking up the O'Reilly Flex Cookbook over the Training From the Source one, primarily because the O'Reilly site had a very simple "Buy the PDF" option. (It's a little easier to read and code on the train if I can just have everything on my laptop.) Somebody oughta tell these Adobe folks about this .pdf format I've been hearing so much about. I bet they'd like it!
