This is the only actionscript 2.0 book currently on the market that will teach you the best practives of biulding an object oriented data integrated business application with actionscript 2.0. Thank god it was not another one of those "using flash to rotate a bouncing ball across the screen" books. You see the all important up front process modeling and then the actionscript code for building a data integrated flash application. This is also not a "fluffy" 10 pound bible book that just regurgitates the Macromedia livedocs. You learn by seeing an application built with object oriented class methodology, and many commparisons showing alternatives built with the visual data components. The author will enlighten you that actioscript is the best way to build a flexible data integrated business application, as opposed to just using the "quick and dirty" visual data components. It is immediate that the author is a real software architect, and this book demonstrates best practices of building a business application. This book is worth triple its price. Buy this book!
Experienced web dev - new to AS 2.0
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 20 years ago
Having minimum Flash/AS1 experience, but years of web dev (javascript/css/etc) experience I found this book to be an excellent launching pad. The first three chapters summerized the new syntax very nicely. Its not a language reference, but still very useful and inspiring. Even gets into OO design priciples and an example OO project.
