Howdy, my $0.02

"Flash MX H-O-T Hands-on-Training" by K. Weil pretty much is useless. Thought it was good at the bookstore but I was wrong. I was hanging on her every word until she was scripting buttons and stopped DIRECTLY before scripting by saying that this a topic for another day. I hated it after that 'cause I already knew how to animate, make graphics etc from my experience with Flash 4. Now, if you have never Flash'd before then this *might* be good but I can't really tell.

On the otherhand, I am happy with:

"Actionscripting in Flash MX" by P. Kerman. It's a good book for scripting as the title may suggest. For this I am a Flash newbie but familiar with Java code. I have been eating this one up.

GL,
Cheez

It depends on what you want to do, Frankie. Design or code? Or both? Or none?

[Frankstolpe]

mostly code

You want to learn code to build sites (check friends of ed), an AS reference (Colin Mook's book), or some crazy AS effects (FoEd again)?
