This is the third Colin Moock Essential ActionScript book I've owned, and this is by far and above his best effort. He's finally sat down and detailed so many things I find myself doing every day, but never knew exactly why. This in not just a simple update to his previous book, but a complete re-write from the ground up.

Detailed look into ActionScript 3. If you do not have an OO background then you may want to read up on that first. Moock tries to explain OO in some places, but doesn't do a good job imo. If you already undestand OO, don't let that deter you. The rest of the book does a fairly thorough (but dry) job going over AS 3.

The most thorough review of AS 3 out there. Colin is one of the best technical authors around.

Didn't give it 5 stars (as I did his AS 2 book) cause it's just a tad bit verbose. I think it could have laid off some of the nitty gritty and still been equally useful.

OK, I probably won't be "reading" it, cover-to-cover, but I need to learn what's new with action script 3!
