I've been slowly working through the Adobe Press book "Training from the Source" by Jeff Tapper et al ("slowly" because I've been busy, not because of the book). It's well-suited for beginners and does a really nice job of teaching the material through the process of building an sample e-commerce website: the lessons are very engaging.

I would have loved to do some more coverage on component development, but as you said, that would be a whole book on its own :) Glad you are enjoying the book Thanks Josh for the kind words.

The original for AS2 was <a href="http://www.zeuslabs.us/2006/04/02/foundation-actionscript-animation-is-fun/" rel="nofollow">an excellent and highly recommended book</a>, and I expect the new version is just as good.

Keep me entertained because I want the information presented to me differently than the official documentation. not too boring either

One thing I can say for sure is that Charles Brown is one very dedicated man. Have you read Keth Peters new book, Making Thins Move, Actionscript 3 edition. It's such a friendly and easy way to break into as3 I highly recommend that too... Enjoy your reading pal. yeah good book… although browns book was not terrible, prgramming flex 2 just seems more enjoyable… One thing I can say for sure is that Charles Brown is one very dedicated man.
