This book is excellent through and through! Looking forward to the AS3.0 version! Maybe you could throw in some chapter about scrolling (bitmap/tile scrolling)? That would rock!
Congratulations! I am so far enjoying the book a great deal – I think you’ve taken exactly the approach I’d hope for (and the approach I’d take if I was writing it myself), which is a rare thing indeed in a software book.
I look forward to putting more of it into practice! I’m curious to see how directly I can apply a lot of it to Brevity, which I just realised today is also largely your work…!
Congrats. I absolutely love this book. I wish my math profs taught trig like this I would have paid more attention in class .
I am actually converting all the examples in the books to AS3 versions as I go along. If anyone would like the AS3 examples I would be more than willing to host the files up if its cool with Keith.
Congratulations Keith. This book is a compilation of stuff difficult to find anywhere else, at least so AS-oriented and with so much detail in the math and algos involved. Your writting style is one of the best I’ve found so far (as seen in your good-old 3d, bounce… tutorials, your Flash Math Creativity chapter, etc…) Keep up the good work!

Congrats! well deserved
Well what do you expect if you write such a great book, that the most difficult part to understand is Aral’s foreword?

Congrats, Keith — you deserve it!
Very cool, I will wait for the AS3 version now!
Congratulations! It’s an excellent book!
Glad to hear that..
Keith you are indeed – The Generous Guru! Looking forward to other similar books from you,
Thanks.

These are the only 2 books on Flash I ever bought:
- Foundation ActionScript Animation
- Moock’s Essential AS2
Best Flash book I ever purchased.
I think it should Object Oriented actionscript for flash 8 by Peter Elst

That’s awesome! Congratulations. I still say it’s the best ActionScript book I’ve read in years (and I read a lot of them).
Yeah!
I keep mine hidden!
having been at the books luanch party, http://www.bit-101.com/blog/?p=675, I always knew it was a winner
.
That’s not a surprise.
The book is great. You explain things in a well organized way and concepts look easy.
Waiting for your next book…
