Having just gotten home from taking my kids to Barnes & Noble, and perusing the Flex 3 Cookbook by Joshua Noble & Todd Anderson, I was wishing I had it last night when I was searching the internet/Adobe for solutions to what seemed like a few simple things. I found what I needed, but if I had Flex 3 Cookbook, I would have had it in 1 minute instead of 1 hour. Anyway, from someone who is moving from the beginner to intermediate realm of Flex 3, that will definitely be my next purchase. I had purchased Advanced ActionScript 3 with Design Patterns last summer but it was a little too advanced for what I was doing so I exchanged it for ActionScript 3.0 Animation by Keith Peters, but it was a good book and will be my next purchase after Flex 3 Cookbook.
