Flash Manual Useful
After one of the students in my class used Flash for his final project, I was compelled to learn it myself. This manual had enough info to get me making little flash movies in a day or two. As with all art, however, the need to express content drives the learning of technical skills. Once I know what content I want to work with, I know the skills will follow. Having this book will help me every step of the way.
Here's a link to some of my first experiments in learning. They're rough, but I see a lot of potential when I can seriously work on a project. The gamut of possibility ranges from simple to amazingly complex. I would recommend this book.

Buyer Beware! 
I have never received such poor service from a seller on Amazon. I ordered this book for a class I am taking and it never came! A month goes by and I ask where is my book the sellers comment was that they have been busy but the book has been sent... that is interesting because I never received it. Another slap in the face was the sellers comment on another inquiry of mine... "if you have any more questions feel free to contact our AMPLE customer service." Ample? How about incompetent, rude, and lazy.
I was impressed by Amazon's quick turnaround from when I sent my claim and from when I received my refund. Unfortunately, this seller gives Amazon a bad name.
Great guide on Adobe Flash 
This is a great guide that will give you step by step instructions on how to use Adobe Flash CS3 professional. You'll learn how to make Flash animations to add great multimedia to your websites or just games for local use.
Great Book!
This book has taught me sooo much already! If you want to learn how to use flash, this is the book for you!
Great for starters. Don't let the name fool you.
I love the Visual QuickStart Guides. This book has easy to follow lessons which are great for beginners. Professional refers to the more robust version of Flash not the skill level of the reader. I have combined this book with some video tutorials which is ideal for learning actionscript fast.
