Re: FLASH: Flash 4 magic (counterpoint)

[pwehner]

On its own terms it is an excellent resource. I like this book alot. 

However, since Actionscript appears to be general (almost lite)

programming. I wondering if some of the experienced flash programmers

on the list can point some of us left brained people towards a

beginning text for programming. It doesn't have to be flash centric. 

I've seen some amazing fla's (bubbles, picture morphing) and I have no

clue what the script is doing. Is there a good beginning programming

book out there? 

Thanks,

Paul
