If you’re interested in Flash MX Components and want to support my site feel free to follow to link and buy yourself a copy of “Flash MX Components Most Wanted“.
I was lucky enough to co-author this book with a lot of very talented Flash developers (Aral Balkan, Josh Dura, Todd Yard, … to name but a few). Check out chapter 21 for my StringThing component contribution.
The book comes with no less than 21 components each with an accompanying chapter with a detailed description and various examples. A great buy if you’re looking for some Flash MX components to play around with!

That seems to be a very good book! I’ve thought about some good flash books, but they don’t only cover things I didn’t know, but also alot of what i do know.
Maybe you’ve guessed it: the only thing i really know nothing about are components.
I think i’ll be going to the bookstore this week. ;)
Thanks, the book isn’t really very helpful as a practical guide to component development. Branden Hall and Sam Wan’s book “OOP in ActionScript” has a very good primer on the subject.
If you’re looking to get into AS 2.0 components you might want to wait for a book on that subject to be available as the component architecture is significantly different.
That is even a better idea, ’cause I also wanted to check out AS 2.0.
Thanks for the advice!
