What is the best book to pick up to learn flash action scripting for motion. I have a basic understanding of flash but I would really like to get into scripting my animation instead of tweening it. Keep in mind Im a designer at heart not a programmer. Any book suggestions for me?

colin moock's definitive guide published by o'reilly's is the best reference book you can get. its especially helpful when you find examples, and dont understand some parts of the code

if you're just getting into AS, i would NOT recommend robert penner's book. great book, but if you're just diving into scripting initially, it's waaaay too much to think about. i'd suggest poking around in source files from the usual forums and picking up moock's definitive guide to AS as a start.

if you're just getting into it, fuck thinking about it in actionscript... get the moock book for AS reference, a nice basic physics book, and a big notebook.

A great book I got alot out of was "flash to the core" by Josh Davis http://flashtothecore.praystatio…
and downloading open source flash files from tutorial sites and pulling them apart.
