However I have not had any

I am working on an iPad only app using Flash CS5.5 and the client has asked
if the app could load in animated graphs. I initially thought this would be
easy loading in a swf but then discovered that not even a stop action was

I did find some very good books specifically on flash games on facebook at
amazon.
