Summary: Really focused on intermediate to advanced
Review: I own both Flash MX Bible and this Flash MX ActionScript Bible, and to my opinion, neither of both have a comprehensive starting point. When one starts defining the use of functions AND arrays together, the other begins explaining the use of operators. The chapter ends with an extravagant example of a color object use WITHOUT explaining how the bitwise operators actually did the work. The result is that I still don't see the practical use of bitwise operators. Every chapter is the same. It ends with an example beyond the scope of what was just explained in that chapter.I feel that author Joey Lott understands this subject so well that at many points forgets that many readers in the audience are native beginners, that unless they have grasped the concepts someplace else, they would be absolutely lost. Not to mention typos, like listing mismatches and so on. Yet, I rate this book with 4 stars because of the outstanding quality of its knowledge and better approach to solve most common problems in everyday work. They would usually deliver an easier (at least more practical) way to overcome a particular scripting need.

Summary: unexpected wow!!
Review: Ok, I was very disappointed with the last "bible" book I bought, so I was a little skeptical about going anywhere near this book. The flash 5 bible was so bad, that I actually threw it in the garbage! I went to the bookstore and checked it out, and was totally amazed! This book is very complete as a reference to MX actionscripting. There is stuff about building components, using flash remoting... and all of the advanced stuff that most of us are really looking for. If you combine this book with the two OOP books you should be a flash MX power scripter! It is every bit as good as the definitive guide by Moock..if not better. Very much worth buying!!

Summary: Good stuff!
Review: OK...so you want to know the kewl stuff that Flash can do...and you want some sample code to "reverse engineer" and pick apart? This book is it. Complete with CD chock full of examples, this book is tailored towards advanced users. Need the basics? Get the FlashMX Bible instead...or keep 'em both around. Everybody needs a reference _book_ now and then...certainly easier to find stuff than _online_ docs included with the software.

Summary: Another great Flash Bible
Review: The Flash MX Actionscript Bible is another tome of over 1000 pages in the Flash Bible series. It follows the successful formula established in earlier editions with its comprehensive coverage, detailed index, and bonus CD-ROM which includes numerous worked examples
The Actionscript Bible obviously concentrates on a detailed study of the Actionscript programming language and the preface states that the book "picks up where the Flash MX Bible left off". Consequently, a familiarity with Flash MX is a prerequisite and since this is a programming book, a novice reader must be prepared to tackle programming concepts. However, the authors help the novice programmer with a series of introductory chapters supplemented by worked examples.
Later chapters show how Actionscript can be used to enhance various aspects of Flash authoring. The coverage is comprehensive and the sample scripts can be adapted by the reader to achieve useful results while learning the language. Experienced Flash designers will find the book to be an essential reference manual, like earlier books in this series.

Summary: The best way to learn ActionScript in MX
Review: This book has taken my way of visualizing, planning and executing Flash projects into a whole new level. It made look everything so easy and simple, giving me all the answers that I couldn't find in other tutorial books. It goes very detail in every aspect of ActionScript, making it easy to read and to follow up even for me as a European with the basic knowledge of English. Whether you're a beginner or advanced in Flash, you will always find something new, or something you have been doing wrong, wondering why they didn't work. After reading this book, Expert Mode in ActionScript will be more convenient for you to work in, as it is already for me.

Summary: The Most Comprehensive Book On FlashMX Actionscripting
Review: This has to be the most comprehensive Flash MX Actionscripting book I have ever read. At first I started to think a lot of the items covered in this book were going to be over my head. But after careful reading and understanding I was completely on point with all the things that were discussed. This book is very easy to read and very enjoyable if you're into Actionscript as a beginner or as an intermediate developer that would like to get through those tough areas of Actionscripting.
