I feel I have to add my six pence to this long debate on whether or not to read the behavior scripts.
I myself being an intermediate user have gained most of my more advanced knowledge from reading behaviours. Within the past 1-2 months I have been gaining plenty of useful information on sound files, buttons, Xtra's and many more, all from the behaviors, and I wish I had done it sooner. However, I have to agree with "Once you have a good base level of Lingo understanding, then I see the behaviors as that leg-up to getting to an intermediate level with ingo." --> Thomas Higgins. I started by reading all the books and searching online. As we all know, the behavior scripts can be full of code which will never be used for the specific task you are trying to achieve. If I had not read the book, and searched online for code, I would never have known what to look for and what to forget about when it comes to the behavios scripts. Now I can look at the code and see which bits I need, and those I couldn't understand fully before now become easy to learn. In short: Read the behaviors after reading from the book and only when you feel comfortable with the behavior code itself.
