Bite Size Chunks of Hands-on Tutorials
In my opinion, this book offers real time ActionScript solutions. The tutorials provided are easy to follow and straight-forward to handle - no more guessing where to go next to achieve the effect expected! At last a `how to do' book that really pay considerations for those individuals without much experience of Flash ActionScript, but also, a book that get you up and running like an `intermediate' user within no time! I thoroughly enjoying working through this book and would definitely recommend it. Excellent purchase!

Flash and ActionScript 3.0
For those who are new to ActionScript or need to recycle their knowledge on the subject, this friendly approach in a stepwise method helps to achieve that; its accessible level of understanding, yet, expressively professional makes it ideal for a good start into ActionScript.

Well written and easy to follow intro to AS 3 and Flash
A great intro to AS3 with Flash CS4 providing a good range of tutorials, easy to follow with clear and understandable explanations of what and why. The examples can be related to real world projects and you are bound to use most of the concepts if you use AS3 and Flash for development.

Well worth the expense and effort.
