Flash Game Development Books Help

[yellowmunky]

Hi,

I am looking to get into creating interactive products to get various 'content' out to end users.

I am looking to get key content out via the use of games and flash seems the most interesting way to go about it.

Can you guys recommend any decent books I should purchase? I am looking to go from a beginner all the way up to a good understanding of games and flash. So can you recommend simple/beginner books as well as higher thought provoking one?

When the user plays these games they will hopefully be given key information and therefore I am looking to create a package of different games for different end users.

The web is good but I just want to sit down quietly and practice away by looking at books and get a better understanding.

Thanks,

Just read up on Jobe Makar's Demystified book and it looks very good.

Can anyone else recommend some more good books?

Thanks,

well i read "Flash Mx Action Script for Fun and Games", but i seemed the author is not actually trying to teach how to make games but how he made his games. Another good book is Flash mx 2004 game programming. although it is a good book but i contains lots of reapeted material. if you dont wanna buy this book then you can download it for free(yes free) at http://www.anwarica.com (i am not kidding).

I've got those two books and this one: Flash MX 2004 actionscript , large but good with technical stuff. Wow, I just realized I should actually use this book more often.. Hmmm
