[casual_games] Flash programming for Java progammers?

[Gert-Jan Brok]

What I think is a good book to add to the list is 'Object-Oriented 
ActionScript for Flash 8'. While not exactly aimed at more experienced 
programmers who are familiar with other languages like JAVA. It offers a 
good insight view in the inner workings of the flash programming 
structure by presenting you easy OOP based examples, and step by step 
going into creating more complex structures.
