ActionScript for Flash MX : The Definitive Guide : Sample Chapter We have posted a chapter from Colin Moock's much anticipated ActionScript for Flash MX : The Definitive Guide. You can view the chapter here. You can buy the book here. I posted this in my previous message on new Flash MX content at the Designer and Developer center, but I wanted to put it in its own post to make sure that it has higher visibility. 4:05:12 PM    comment []  Google It!
