I spent quite some time looking for the same type of training a while back. It simply does not exist, or is hidden in the depths of atlantis.
The problem is that all the education programs are designed for beginners. And even if you go to one (which I did), the trainer can only help you so much because he has the whole class to attend to. So while the trainer may be able to point you in more advanced directions, he cannot devote enough time to cover the concepts you need. Maybe the intro to AS3 will help, but not in the way you are looking (probably). One way to learn is to take it on yourself. Get the motivation to explore the new native classes. Learn that nasty display architecture. Never let yourself settle for mediocrity and you will continue to learn and grow. If you force yourself upon OOP, it may stop you in your tracks. Get high level with the concepts and patterns, and then when you find yourself in a situation that could implement the pattern, try it out. Don't be afraid to fail. The other way, is to incorporate the above mentioned solution with the addition of a mentor. Collaboration increase growth exponentially when coupled with the motivation to do so. books: Learning Actionscript 3.0 - Shupe & Rosser Essential Actionscript 3.0 - Moock my 2cents. ktu On Thu, Feb 17, 2011 at 11:32 AM, Eric Dolecki <edole...@gmail.com> wrote: > That is a good one > > Sent from my iPhone > > On Feb 17, 2011, at 11:13 AM, Sam Brown <4sambr...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > Although it's not training, I found this book very helpful: > > > http://www.amazon.com/Object-Oriented-ActionScript-3-0-Todd-Yard/dp/1590598458 > > > > < > http://www.amazon.com/Object-Oriented-ActionScript-3-0-Todd-Yard/dp/1590598458 > >It > > has detailed explanations and examples to work through > > > > On Thu, Feb 17, 2011 at 9:48 AM, Sheehan, Conor <conor_shee...@bose.com > >wrote: > > > >> Hi List, > >> > >> I'm looking for a quality AS3 / OOP training program.
