Re: [Flashcoders] best flash actionscript book/reference
I second the recommendation to the Safari bookshelf service to get these. So far it has paid itself back multiple times. I pretty much keep Moock's Actionscript for Flash MX there constantly (although this one book takes up 2 of my 10 slots) for quick reference. So far the most useful bit is being able to do a search for exactly what you need, and it lets you know where in your books you can find it, as well as other books not yet in your library.

Re: [Flashcoders] best flash actionscript book/reference
I agree wholeheartedly with the Essential ActionScript 2.0 recomendation but would add that Moock's previous book, ActionScript for Flash MX, is also indispensable. Sure, some of the stuff in it is not necessarily up-to-date but, as a reference to ActionScript's built in classes and methods I find it often makes things crystal clear when the standard documentation has muddied the waters. These two titles should be glued together IMHO! I'd also recommend you take a look at Oreilly's (the publishers of these two books) Safari bookshelf service - it gives you online access to these and loads of other great manuals (no, I have no affiliation with them, just think it's a great service :). Good luck in your quest Edward!

RE: [Flashcoders] best flash actionscript book/reference
Both Moock's O'Reilly book Essential Actionscript 2.0 and Elst Yard's Friends of Ed book Object Oriented Actionscript for Flash 8 are VERY fine books, both of which I own and highly recommend for learning to write AS 2.0 code, I would disagree that these are the best recommendations to his original question where he said: whats a good REFERENCE with examples for ALL flash as2.0 etc methods objects properties etc. While those books fit the examples part of that question, they do NOT fit the all and reference part by any stretch of the imagination. For a fine reference book on AS 2.0, check out this book: ActionScript 2.0 Language Reference for Macromedia Flash 8 (Macromedia Press) by Francis Cheng, Jen deHaan, Robert L. Dixon, Shimul Rahim http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0321384040/sr=8-6/qid=1142002040/ref=pd _bbs_6/002-1786582-7194401?%5Fencoding=UTF8 Personally, if you have the cash, I would recommend getting all three.
