Response to: not one true source for actionscript 3.0

hi tetraktys,
Essential ActionScript 3.0's unapologetic goal is to cover the core language in extreme depth, with extreme accuracy. that unfortunately does not leave room for serious coverage of components (Essential ActionScript 3.0 is already over 900 pages, and component development could easily fill a book of its own).


happily, in September 2007, Adobe posted a good series of articles on creating ActionScript 3.0 components. see:
http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flash/articles/creating_as3_components.html


hope that helps,
colin

"This book is so good and so needed for Flash CS3 and Flex Builder - Adobe should consider including a half-price discount voucher on the book when people register their products."
