The book does not cover Action Script or Interactive Components in detail, however, it does deal with them in a general sense and the reader is even able to practice several Action Script-based exercises. For someone who is brand new to Flash, this is THE best book available, as it covers the interface, the menus, tweening, timeline effects, etc, with THE most easy to understand approach. Withstanding the enormous advanced concepts such as Action Script and Components, this book nails ALL of the basics that a newby needs to know, and with impressively clear and simple delivery. For advanced Flash users, I would recommend this as an excellent primer and also recommend getting an Action Script cookbook to further your learning.

"One of the beauties of the Missing Manuals is that there is always something new to discover and the research is quite thorough...I kept finding snippets of information, in the way of Tips or Notes, that would give just that bit extra."
