how about a book that isn't specifically for flash?

after reading one recommendation for it after another, i finally got
myself Heads First: Design Patterns () and
so far i'm very happy with it.
(if you don't know what design patterns are, read

and see if something like that is of interest for you.)

the book explains a few selected common and useful patterns very
thoroughly. you not only learn how they work and how to implement
them, but also /why/ they are useful, in what kind of situations they
are useful, and in which they aren't.
the presentation may not be for everybody, but i went for it and it
works for me.

hth,
mark

Agreed, the Friend of Ed book on Object Oriented Actionscript is great.

Re: [Flashcoders] advanced flash AS 2.0/3.0 book?

[Manuel Saint-Victor]

I'd like to second that recommendation.  I just picked that up yesterday and
have already learned a good bit from it.  I enjoy that books like this are
finally coming out.  Another good thing about this book so far is that The
examples are short and focused on what you are supposed to be learning so
before the attention span is shot you're throwing in two or three new lines
of code and having the reasons clarified.

Another book that I've been enjoying a  piece at a time is Object Oriented
Actionscript in Flash 8.  also from FOE.  I'm learning a lot from it.  The
only gripe I have is that I feel as if the case study- although excellent
and illustrative about the techniques- has been a turn off in my current
situation because I need to build a component set quick fast and in a hurry
at work.
It is really nice though that it's taking me through the planning and
implementation of building a component architecture from the ground up and
why.

I learned a ton about what could be done with components from The Flex book
because despite being geared toward Flex development it exposed some of the
API and uses of it that I had not come across.

I would recommend the Flash -Pro app development training from the source -I
learned a lot from that book but I think that with Flex on the horizon-that
might not be how things are done very soon.

I agree with you that most of the book recommendations out right now are
dated.  This is a very fast moving period in ActionScript and even with the
books fresh off the press I'm wondering if they're not already behind the
times and it is almost impossible to find books that go beyond the very
basic.

RE: [Flashcoders] advanced flash AS 2.0/3.0 book?

[Keith Takayesu]

I just got the AdvancED ActionScript Components book for our team, too.
It is one of the best explanations of the V2 Component architecture that
I've read to date.  I like the way that the examples are built up for
those who are new to components and object-oriented techniques, and then
gets into the details of how each type of built-in component can, and
should be used.

One of those books that I wish we had a few months ago...

Here is the tiny url for the same book, for those who had a broken
link...
http://tinyurl.com/hhb29

I would also recommend another new Friends of Ed book, "Object-Oriented
ActionScript for Flash 8". It gets into the details and best practices
of objec-oriented Flash development, and topics such as data binding and
web services. It even discusses the Flash/JavaScript Integration Kit.

Rich, that sounds like something that I could use. Mastery and not just
introductory stuff. The books I have read just go over the basic
components, like list or scrollpane, not things like the datagrid or
learning how to use a cellrenderer. Thanks again.

other book that is just a reprint of the help docs, he goes into the
flash component architcture itself to give you a better understanding
of how things are working, and whats going on behind the scenes.

He goes into this thing about XLEFF (XML Layout engine for Flash) for
a little bit, but I just kinda glossed over that so far, since im not
really interested, i just want to undersatnd the components
betterbut skipping over all that stuff doesnt affect understanding
anything else in the book.

Re: [Flashcoders] advanced flash AS 2.0/3.0 book?

[Jonathan Berry]

Thanks for the reply, Karthik. I checked the archives and came up with 136
prior messages in relation to "advanced books" but none that were current,
as in the last year or so. I noticed someone else just posted in relation to
a book recommendation and got some good responses, so it would be great if
someone would have some information on an advanced book.

Please check the archives. Book recommendations posts appear once
every 36.34 hours on this list :) The link is in the footer.

This is the first time I've seen one of these lame corporate
disclaimer footnotes from a gmail address. Please do us a favour and
lose it - all your e-mails are being distributed, disseminated  and
