Hey guys,
Nicolas: Yeah man it was good to have a full understanding of the event cycle….something I hadn’t found anywhere else.
Kieth: welcome to my little blog mate. I think although it focuses on the AS3 lanuage….alot of the paterns are very aplicable to flex applications. I have found it very easy to head in the wrong direction with flex and start breaking encapulation. But yes it is an AS3 book.
Bevan: sent you an email bro….But the short of it is not in NZ yet

Couldn’t agree more that it’s a great book, but it might be misleading to keep mentioning Flex in the review. The book covers ActionScript 3.0, not Flex. Of course it is all applicable in writing Flex 2.0 applications, which use AS3.

Couldn’t agree with you more. It’s a great book, and the bonus chapters about events, E4X and reg expressions are a very nice addition.
