My exams will be over on May 13th and will have vacation from then.I have decided to study Action script Language(Language used in Adobe Flash).

I intent to purchase books for that rather than online tutorials because I dont want to stick to the computer reading.
Can you programmer guys please recommend me some good book that teaches this language?
At this time I know only C language.So please suggest any books that are good for beginners.

Frankly, my favourite is *www.learnflash.com/ I really like his tutorials.

You can go for ActionScript 3.0 Bible book very easy to read and to understand, and the examples easy to put in practice.

Hope that helps you to decide.

Great site.But they are all ebooks.I dont like the concept of sitting in front of the computer reading something.It is lot of strain.I downloaded the e version of Action Script bible too, but dint read it because it is the e version.I will get the book after my exams which ends on May13.

Thanks for your suggestion mate.
