# can't recommend a book
but I learnt actionscript via google. There are tonnes of sites out there.

# yeah
i always find books a lot easier to learn from - i seem to be more inclined to stick at it if i have a big book to work through.

# fair enough
Personally I find it easier to set myself a challenge and google the bits I don't know how to do.
