I battled furiously to get my head around Object-Oriented
Programming with Actionscript
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0735711836/sr=8-2/qid=1156121055/ref=sr_1_2/103-4690969-4407040?ie=UTF8
only to find that looking back a lot of the explanations largely
added to my confusion.
IMHO your recommendation wasn't hard to follow but it did lack depth.
To be honest since recommending it I found out there are errors in
some code examples, and the site specially made to download
corrections:
http://www.oopas2.com
is not available.............at least not on my internet :-)
I agree with your statement that any in-depth treatment of the
subject of OOA/OOD/OOP will not be written for ActionScript.
As I understand it, in a similar way to the motivation for making
PHP5 much more Java like (in terms of OOP features) ActionScript 2.0
was made Java like in order that serious development tools such as
UML and design patterns could be applied to the language, and so
Java/C++/C# developers could easily migrate to using Flash.
It makes sense that Flash developers travel that line in the other
direction and use some of the resources that Java/C++ coders have,
such as design patterns and UML.
