[casual_games] Recommendations for a book on Flash games creation?

[Phil Steinmeyer]

Does anyone know of an on-line review (or care to offer their own), of the 
new Flash?

My beefs with Flash 7 were (roughly)
1) Terrible IDE
2) Slow
3) Limitations in terms of making stand-alone EXEs that fully exploit the 
native OS (i.e. screen resizing and such).

How does Flash 8 stack up?  Also, what's a reasonable estimate on the time 
frame until Flash 8 reaches a ~90% penetration?

Or, get Flash MX ActionScript for Fun and Games, a slightly updated
book still in ActionScript 1.0 style, but with many added games over
the 5 book.

Or, er, so I hear :)
