ACTIONSCRIPTING

ActionScripting in Flash MX

I've been working with Flash for years and I have found this particular book by Kerman to be very complete. I'm surprised by many of the negative reviews this book has received; it is one of the best Flash books I have in my library. Wrt it being verbose, well, it can be. But READ IT and you'll see that Kerman chose his words very carefully. There is a lot to be gleaned from this book if you are patient. I suggest reading it once, fighting with Flash afterwards for a week or two, and then come back to Kerman looking for the answers to your questions...you'll find what you need...I promise. Great book!

Advanced Flash 5: Introduction to ActionScripting
$9.98
Advanced Flash 5: Introduction to ActionScripting with Josh Ulm and Garo Green is an instructional CD-ROM presenting the radically new object-oriented scripting mode introduced by Macromedia Flash 5. This CD-ROM offers completely new and original exercises developed specifically to teach the fundamentals of object-oriented programming inside of Flash. While traditional scripting methods are still accessible in Flash 5, adopting object-oriented methods will significantly change the way you develop Flash movies. Object-oriented programming will produce movies that are smaller, faster, more powerful and extensible. This CD-ROM breaks ActionScripting down into easy-to-understand fundamental concepts, so Flash developers can harness the power and complexity of Flash without relying on complicated single-use "tricks." The exercise files that are included allow you to learn at your own pace. Approximately 6 hours.

I am sure if you glance at the rest of the reviews you will be more than tempted to buy this book. Well, you should! Kerman's way of introducing the LOGIC behind actionScript is phenomenal. This books should help pave the way for you to grasp the logic behind actionScript. Why not 5 stars then? Well, I thought there would be more practical examples than the book included. Definitely worth the money!
