O'Reilly: ActionScript: The Definitive Guide

Over the next 675 meaty pages, we'll be exploring every detail of the ActionScript language -- from the basics of variables and movie clip control to advanced topics such as objects and classes, server communication, and XML. By the end, we'll have covered everything there is to know about Flash programming.This book is not just for programmers. The text moves pretty quickly, but a prior knowledge of programming is not required to read it. All you need is experience with the non-ActionScript aspects of Flash and an eagerness to learn. Of course, if you are already a programmer, so much the better; you'll be applying your code-junkie skills to ActionScript in no time.
