I was at B & N today. Every book on learning Flash 5
has something about Action script in it. Also O'Reilly
has printed a whole book devoted to Action script,
its command set and examples. You should be able
to find something at barnesandnoble.com. Flash 5
looks to be an awsome program with plenty of
resources for learning it. I bought Flash 5 Training
from the Source, a beginners book that teaches
you how to build a web page from start to finish,
and it also includes much about Action script.
Macromedia's web site also has links to user sites
with a format similar to Cprogramming.com's, message board and all.
