Working with flash and writing good application requires very good resources in order to achieve the results your projects demand. In order to achieve these you´ll have to rely on the resources in hand. This book has helped me for some time now and that´s why i´m posting the book.The writers from O´Reilly has also created som code that is possible to download from their site. It´s a library that helps you draw ex. triangles, polygons and others using the Pen class. This is something you´ll have to do your self with the Graphics class, but with this wrapper you can define other values that the actionscript library does not handle.

Since I ordered the book I´ve used it many times, because you allways have to look up some code that you don´t remember how to do. This book is for that purpose. It explaines also the complete construction of the code with description. I´ve allways been relying on good resources when creating flash applications and this book has really helped me a lot and if you also can see your self in the possition of needing guidance, this is the book for you. Good luck!
