This book is a definite must have for every ActionScript 2 programmer. As a technical reviewer for this book, I've had the opportunity to read and study it from cover to cover several times. Colin has done an excellent job at covering the much needed details of the core language structure of ActionScript 2 with heavy emphasis on the OOP architecture model of AS2.


This book is not an updated version of ActionScript The Definitive Guide, it does not contain an AS2 dictionary. What it contains is a detailed coverage of OOP architecture and AS2 language structure.


Prior to reviewing the manuscript, I felt I had a fairly decent grasp of AS2. As I worked through the manuscript, reading the text and testing the examples I was amazed at how clear Colin's explainations were. His writing, filled in many of the missing gaps in my grasp of AS2 and solidified my programming skills with AS2.


I strongly recommend this book to any serious AS2 programmer who wants to gain a solid grasp of OOP architecture in AS2.
