All previous versions of flashMX came with an actionscript dictionary and a how to use flash kind of book.
The version we got at work only has the using flash book, no actionscript dictionary. Is this normal? Or has someone nicked my actionscript dictionary? :D

Hmmm, it's been over a year; but I'm pretty sure I only got one book. I'm not at home so I can't really check...
after looking in 3 of the many upgrade boxes in my place of work, early signs point to their being only one book : using flash MX
Same here!! I think we've been ripped off:mad:Quote:

Just had a look all our boxes and all we got were the Using Flash MX books...Flash 5 had an actionscript reference guide and the user guide im sure
calm down; no book. Who needs the book anyways? It's all there (refrence panel, F1 Help, and at Macromedia.com).Quote:

[edited]oops - posted int he wrong thread!
I don't know Mark. I reckon the people who didn't buy it boxed never got the actionscript book either ;)
oh... and I believe there is a PDF version on the CD.
No Actionscript Manual in Flash MX (box), just using. The documentation for the studio is even more anemic - one manual for every program (Fireworks, Flash, Dreamweaver, Freehand, etc.). A few rungs down is the documentation for the Comm Server, which has what amounts to a pamphlet of documentation - looks like it was produced at the local Kinkos.
I suggest you convince work to get you a copy of Moock's Actionscript pocket reference - much better than even the PDF manual/help file included with the program.
Thankyou muchly! I will do... I'm still trying to get them to send me to sanjose for FK03 :DQuote:

The pocket reference is only about $12USD - it's not the full ASDG, just a brief version of the excellent actionscript dictionary included in the book (which is good, because the full book is a beast to have to carry around).Quote:
