Game books?

[CTT_Mustapha]

Hi.

I've been reading the book "Sams, Teach Yourself Flash MX Actionscript" and though it has taught me the basics of how actionscript works and how to apply it to different types of things, it doesn't really do much on games which is what i want to make in Flash. I'm up to chapter 12 of the book and i've flicked through and it doesn't seem to really do much on games apart from teaching me how to make a movie clip move around the screen with the arrow keys. Anyway, after that rather long post, i just want to ask what books you think are good that focus on games?


Thanks

One word of advice, don't get 'How to Do Everything with Macromedia Flash MX' by Bonnie Blake

i got it for Christmas (early) and to be honest, its *****

LOL, good luck searching for one!
