Latest book releases about MX...

[skalie]

Howdy,

It's just recently come to my attention that Flash MX is quite a different breed of cat than Flash 5.

Therefore the books that I have accumulated "PhpforFlash", "ActionScript the Definitive Guide (Colin Moock)" and other odds and ends have become somewhat outdated.

First question, is the updated version of Colin Moock's "ActionScript the Definitive Guide", the MX version, worth buying for the updates?

Secondly, are there any other books out there that people would recommend.

I'm hoping to use a combination MX components, Xml and AMFPHP to communicate with PHP/ MySQL.

TIA

I have three that I love (haven't read or seen the one you mention, but you could see the reviews at amazon.com or amazon.co.uk):
Object-Oriented Macromedia Flash MX by Drol (Apress)
Flash MX Action Scripting Training from the source by Franklin/Makar (Macromedia Press)
Macromedia Flash MX Developers Guide by Woods (Osborne)
Haven't used the latest so much, just peeked into it, but I look forwards to it!
