Flash MX Components Most Wanted

Flash MX Components Most WantedIf 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!
