RE: FLASH: actionscripting books

[Jason Bouwmeester]

IMHO, Hillman Curtis' book is more design oriented, yeah it does have some

Actionscript deconstructed... Flash 4 Magic has a bit more on the lines of

Actionscripting being deconstructed though...


My 2 cents,

Hi guys,


I think there is one good book that you should look at: Flash Web Design

by Hillman Curtis. Though it's not in nature a book committed to total

action-

scripting, it provides a deconstruction of some of his past great projects

that

involves actionscripting of course. I bought the book recently (which was

quite

a miracle that I could find it in Singapore) and I must say I wasn't a bit

unsatisfied.


Hope you find that useful...
