Actually, it's Wiley, not O'Reilly.

I have the one for MX 2004, it's pretty useful.



This book is good for looking up the code and getting a quick example
of its syntax. It's not deep, you should pretty much already know what
you are looking for. Like Sound or MovieClip methods. It's also cheap,
like $25 or something. I use it a lot.

Also, all of the help docs are available from Adobe in .pdf format.
There are thousands of pages of doucmentation there.

If you're looking for a bleeding edge O'Reilly book, the AS3.0

Re: [Flashcoders] Book: Flash 8 reference?

I've been using Oreilly's Safari service for many of these reference books to 
read them online instead of purchasing hard copies though several of these 
Actionscript books look like they'd make good bedtime reading.

Re: [Flashcoders] Book: Flash 8 reference?

[Charles Parcell]

I just pick this book up a week ago and am about half way through it. I have
to give it two thumbs up!

http://www.amazon.com/Advanced-ActionScript-3-Design-Patterns/dp/0321426568/sr=11-1/qid=1165348093/ref=sr_11_1/103-7225829-0820628

You can also get the ActionScript 3.0 Definitive Guide from as a download
from the publisher's web site. You can basically buy it now and download the
PDFs of the chapters as they get approved, then they will send you the book
when it is done.

But this is all ActionScript 3.0 stuff (but the design patterns book can be
applied to AS 2.0 as well).

I'd suggest the basic reference manuals from MM press: AS2.0 Language  
Reference, Learning AS 2.0, and Using AS2.0 Components.


If you're looking for a bleeding edge O'Reilly book, the AS3.0  
Cookbook is available. An OOP AS3.0 book is in beta and available on-

The single best book I've gotten has been The Flash 8 Actionscript Bible by 
Lott and Reinhardt.
