my 2 cents: 1. Essential ActionScript 2.0 2. Object-Oriented Programming with ActionScript 2.0 3. ActionScript 2.0 GARAGE (never heard of it) 4.

Re: [Flashcoders] Book sequence...
Agreed 1. Essential ActionScript 2.0 2. Object-Oriented Programming with ActionScript 2.0 Garage has some good things in it but not worth reading first, but a skim through for sure. Hacks last, by the time you finish with the first two new hacks will have been developed for flash 8 bugs. On 12/12/05, eric dolecki [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: my 2 cents: 1.

You pick up a lot of good video tutorials (both beginner and advanced) from this site: http://www.flashextensions.com/ I recommend viewing it after your second book. Judah Flash guru wrote: Agreed 1.

Re: [Flashcoders] Book sequence...
I'd say Actionscript Cookbook. Though worthwhile, the topics in essential As2 is are too booring to read in December. December should be a fun month. a bit subjectively, -Cort • ActionScript for Flash MX The Definitive Guide • Essential ActionScript 2.0 • Flash Hacks • ActionScript 2.0 GARAGE • Actionscript Cookbook • Object-Oriented Programming with ActionScript 2.0 Sorry about the bad english, but I just can't lose this oportunity.

Re: [Flashcoders] Book sequence...
Cortlandt makes a good point December should be a fun month. Essential is a heavy book for a beginner, but a great book for the whole scope of things. ___ Flashcoders mailing list Flashcoders@chattyfig.figleaf.com http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
