    i got josh's book, I got colin's book, i got a bazillion books from the 'friends of ed'...

    ... after watching a few video tutorials - i kinda dumped the books for a while. If you're a visual person... it's nice to have something shown to you rather than reading the instruction manual..

    ... I tried teaching myself 3dStudio Max via some 'reading' tutorials and got bored quickly...

    ... then I jumped on some video tutorials... within a few hours I was up to speed on the interface and ready to start 'practicing and exploring'...

    ... so I recommend trying a video.

    Also - as a side note... alot of books are VERY SLOPPY and everyone has a different method - if you're going to learn actionscript... goto the source - Macromedia. Read their books and you'll get the best understanding of Classes, Objects, methods etc... and how they all tie together etc...

    ... has anyone else found that alot of actionscript books have typo's of bad code? i'll load up the cd and find diff. code etc... very sloppy stuff.
