Learn how to write actionscript with Flash 8 ActionScript Bible

If you've been following our series of Flash Tutorials, you'll notice most of them are geared towards beginners and intermediate users of Adobe Flash. They help give you a good basic understanding of how Adobe Flash works and how to use it. For most of the tutorials that include actionscript, the code is supplied for you to copy and paste to your movie project. However this doesn't necessarily teach you how to write actionscript code. This is where a good book like Flash 8 ActionScript Bible is useful.

The book contains step-by-step tutorials on how to write actionscript code for Flash 8. If you're still using Flash MX there is also an actionscript bible available for that version as well.

Flash actionscript tutorials found in this book include the basics from creating your first actionscript, all the way to working with strings, numbers and booleans. It also shows you how to work with functions, objects, arrays and expressions. For advanced users, it offers how to draw programmatically, how to use UI components and adding XML to your flash projects. You can download a pdf file that contains the full contents here.

In summary, this book is useful for Flash developers wanting to learn how to write actionscript code and for those after a quick reference that includes code examples.
