This title is THAT good. Like another reviewer said, you may find the narration a bit slow, but if you hold down the FF button you can still understand him. If you’ve gotten through all the beginner stuff, this is a great next step to take.
Again, some people might find it slow, because he does a lot of hand holding through the exercises. However, if you aren’t 100% on your ActionScript 2.0 skills yet, it might be just what you need to build your skills as well as your confidence as an AS programmer. That’s exactly what it has done for me.
And if you REALLY want to get most out of this, get the “Beyond the Basics” book as well, and take your notes in there as you follow along.
