    July 23, 2009: This book gives you so much detail about AS3, you will be a Flash Master in no time.

    Good, but abstractby WhidbeyTomas

    April 22, 2009: This book provides some excellent information about ActionScript and object oriented programming. Its weakness is that it is quite abstract. This is not a text about AS3 for Flash.

    You will learn much about OOP, but there are huge gaps on the practical end. For example, you will not learn how to assemble class files to form an application (at least not in Flash). It is also difficult to see how to pull objects into a class files into an application. The one complete application example has no visual components.

    Not being a Flash book, it addresses many AS3 subjects very briefly, such as the drawing API. The book addresses E4X for XML, but is very thin on the AS3 that makes this work in Flash.

    This is a good book, but not the only book you'll need. You will like this book better if you are a trained programmer. If you are not, you will want to keep this book as a reference, something to open up and ponder from time to time.
