Guys,

Thank you for the Errata regarding Chapter 4 P69. I think it would be helpful to also mention that this code does required two objects to exist in the Library: Btn and NavBarBack.

Thanks for a good book. Nice progression and good examples.

Thanks for writing such an easy and enjoyable book to read. You have demystify a lot about AS and make it easy to follow through. I have just bought the book to learn about AS. I like the hands-on exercises which helps me a lot to understand what i read.

I will be back to continue my quizzes exercise and see what is going on here.

Kiitos!(Finnish: Thanks)

Yes,

I’ve read quite a few Action Script books, including Colin Moock’s and also the documentation of Flash CS3 itself and this is perhaps the best. It explains concepts in an easy to understand way and gives new insights. e.g. I’d never before seen a sprite described as a movie clip without a timeline, yet the description helps understanding enormously.Again, I’ve never really seen the void data type adequately explained anywhere else - it tends to be assumed you will know it.
This book is the book I’ve been looking for. It’s the only one I’ve come across which actually makes the learning process enjoyable and understandable at the same time.

The best book I’ve seen on ActionScript 3.0, (and I’ve seen a lot), well written and in a way that someone with a design background (like myself) is likely to find easier to understand…

Hey Guys,

I am enjoying the book so far and am about to begin the exercises with the downloads. I have never been a programmer, so I am hoping you know of a basic glossary that can define and explain the origin of programming nomenclature (arguments, etc.) in very simple terms. I must say that I have been able to follow the book so far anyway. Thanks.

@Steven, @Marion, @IsmetM, @Jay

(All these comment references make me hear The Night Before Christmas: “Now, Dasher! now, Dancer! now, Prancer and Vixen!” Heh.)

Welcome, all. We really appreciate the words of encouragement and we hope you get a lot from the book and this companion site.

Thanks guys!

Your book is wonderful! All I can say is…

WOW and then WOW again backwards!

This is what I’ve been looking for. I’m new to flash (I’m 4 weeks into my flash education) I’ve been just learning via video training from lynda.com and learnflash.com as well as several other web resources… but up until this point no books…

Until to day!

Well now I’m off to poke around your site a bit and see what I can discover.

Thanks again mates,

Jay

Thanks very much for the book. I got it after reading Lee Brimelow’s recommendation and I’ve not been disappointed.
