After you complete this book, you may want to continue your ActionScript education. There are plenty of commands to learn, and programmers are always developing new and interesting techniques. Many times, programmers take Flash beyond what Macromedia even thought possible. It is a good idea to keep up with current ActionScript tricks and techniques.

The best way to do this is online. There are dozens of active Flash Web sites and mailing lists. Every Flash programmer should belong to at least one list and check out at least one site on a regular basis.

I have set up a site called Developer Dispatch at http://www.developerdispatch.com. On this site, you will find a long list of other Flash sites and mailing lists. Developer Dispatch also has a Flash message board that you can use to talk with other developers.

I have also written another book called Flash ActionScript for Fun and Games . That book goes further than this one with many complex game examples and will be especially useful to you if you are learning ActionScript to build games.
