A rip-roaring roller coaster of a ride. I especially liked:
" external_btn.addEventListener(MouseEvent.CLICK, openLink);
function openLink(e:MouseEvent):void {
navigateToURL(new URLRequest("http://www.republicofcode.com"));
}

Brilliant!

Clear guide to learning actionscript 3, without getting caught up in programming methodologies, paradigms, or whatever else. Shows potential pitfalls and ways around them, and covers just enough of the basics so as not to be irritating in its redundancy.

Great beginners introduction to the new structures of AS3. Gives loads of great simple examples but doesn't assume you're a complete idiot. I recommend it for starting out if you're diving into AS3.

If you want to learn Actionscript 3 this is the best place to start. A great book with great examples. I would not have been able to complete my last project had it not been for this book.

Wow, a beginner programming book that isn't completely drowned out in patronization and "I feel your pain" reassurances every few paragraphs! O_o
