Do any exist (based on flex2+ and AS3)? I have the O'reilly head start stuff but its based on Java. I'd much rather have these books based on Flex/ActionScript. Also, Adobe, having books like this of course ushers in new converts to your market place. So I get the knowledge I want in the language I want and you get more money for your stock holders. Sounds like a win-win situation. Oreilly already knows how to do these books, so go with them. In fact, to make it easy, just take the existing books and convert them to Flex/ActionScript. So let it be written, so let it be done. Let me know when they're on amazon and I'll pre-order! <mx:outOfTheBox> Ok, maybe throw in CF there because large scale OO design is going to require backend. Incidentally, wouldnt it be better if Flex/Flash/CF were all one language and 1 IDE. Flex is saving me from having to learn javascript, advanced html, DOM, and ajax. Now I'm going to have to learn CF syntax though. I think, adobe, that you are pretty darn close to critical mass here (with flex as the spearhead -- to mix metaphors) I think you have the chance to grab major market share from MS and Sun.........but it comes down to the mix and your timing. At any rate, I think your front door welcome mat should say "FLEX" and that an open sourced AS3/MXML engine should permeate your product lines. (One Land! One King!) Yea, and name this project "Excalibur" </mx:outOfTheBox>. brad
