Hey folks,

With the multitude of books out there at the moment for Flash MX and it's actionscripting capabilities - which one do you recommend.

I'm quite familiar with programming other languages yet I would concider myself to be a virgin to the actionscripting world. I guess something that uses real life example teaching and is based at a mid-high level of expertise would be best suited.

Any and all recommendations, "stay away froms" etc would be greatly appreciated.

Actionscript - The Definitive Guide (I think that's what it's called) by Colin Moock.
-> Very good book for reference, not so good for just reading straight through.

I'd recommend Inside Flash as it takes you from rank beginner in actionscript to doing 3d effects and physics within a few chapters and is a great all around reference for Flash MX. A good actionscript one is Actionscript Designer's Reference by Friends of Ed
