Book Recommendations

Hi all,

Typical situation, boss comes up to me and says "Learn Flash and become an expert at it in a week" so here I am. Has anyone got recommendations on good books about FLASH from beginner to advanced level.

    Cheers

After a quick browse of amazon the Flash MX Bible (Bible) and Macromedia Flash MX ActionScript Bible (Bible) look like good books. Anyone got anything for or against them?

after a quick browse of flash, I realise it uses XML and C looking code, I am proficient at these so don't need any book that explains C and XML, only flash specific things.

Alot of their books are unpublished, especially one of the ones I would be after "Foundation Flash MX".

These look like good books, I'll have to get my hands on one and have a flick through, shame they don't have any Flash MX books out yet.

nutz, When I was looking at FLASH MX (Bible) last week, it was a non-best seller and 40 pounds to come with the Action Script (Bible).

This week, its 60 pounds for the two and individually they are twice the price. And they are the second best seller on Amazon within 1 week.

Lucky for me its Company money and not mine. Still.. would have been nice to save a bit.
