Are you a designer? You need this book. Now before you spam me, let me tell you I'm as addicted to onEnterFrame as anybody. I've been limping along, using the same loadMovie script I copied way back and in general avoiding scary words like OOP. Hell, If you asked me a year ago what Flex 2.0 was, I would've told it's an exercise machine endorsed by Chuck Norris!
But let me tell you, the changes in AS3 are fundamental, deep and life-changing. I've been inching towards using attachMovie, separate functions, etc. But AS3 takes it a step further, forcing you to get organized and import only the classes you need. Furthermore, the whole way objects are displayed has changed. No more "_root". Not even "_x". Like I said, you need this book.
Bottom line, AS3 will separate the men from the boys and this book will help you get on the bandwagon. The developers might grumble that this book spends too much time on the basics, but for those of us who need more practice than theory, this book is a good start.
