Flash : BooksActionScripting in Flash MX
Tap into the full power of Flash MX by learning how and when to employ ActionScripting. ActionScripting in Flash MX is structured into 2 parts. In the Foundation section readers learn general programming theory and how it applies to Flash. Then the book progresses through more complex Flash ActionScripting applications, including functions, arrays, objects, components, and interfacing with external data. Short tasks and real-world analogies demonstrate specific concepts. In the Workshop section, the reader actually builds practical applications that range in complexity from beginner to advanced. At the end of the Workshop section, the reader will actually debug broken scripts. This book covers the gamut from novice to expert, but it shows real strength in getting basic Flash users into some serious programming. Kerman starts off assuming knowledge of fundamental tools and animation, and moves right into building familiarity with ActionScript.

Learning Flash 5
Animation is a multifaceted and a complicated process. Flash is a notoriously quirky tool. No wonder many fail to master the skill of animating with Flash. Here at least is a solution to the "how" of the Flash interface. Flash has so many interrelated tools and adjustment panels, it's good to see them systematically explored and explained. I've used Flash for years and still found some hidden powers. Flash's more advanced tools are not overlooked. There are lessons on building guide paths, mask layers, buttons and scripting for control of movie clips and sound track. To use Flash properly, you need to know everything on this CD by heart. This is a painless (except perhaps for the $150 price) way to acquire that knowledge. These lessons are like having a knowledgable friend with a clear lesson plan beside you. Hits all the basics but gets well into subtleties of the complex process of animation.
