Description: I just picked up this book, and would definitely recommend it. Why? Because not only does it teach via projects, which means you learn by DOING - by actually creating, instead of by simply reading lengthy explanations of discrete pieces of code. Most importantly, however, you learn by creating FUN PROJECTS! It's one thing to write the code for a simple calculator, which, while good for teaching certain concepts, is quite BORING - it's another to write the code for a game or fun little flash "toy", which you can really enjoy. In the end, you learn the syntax and algorithm either way, but if you do it by creating games, it is that much more fun of a learning process. For beginners, this book dedicates its first few chapters to the basics of ActionScript. For intermediate scripters, it then jumps into fun applications of more intricate scripting methods - you learn new concepts by applying them to fun projects as you learn. Rock on.
