text: I would suggest starting with:\n\nhttp://www.gotoandplay.it/\n\nthis site has a lot of source files, tutorials, and an active forum.  As an experienced Flash game developer, I am consistently impressed by the site.  As far as books go, There are a variety of them out there.  \n\nI worked on one called Flash MX 2004 Game Programming (it is part of that Game Programming series).  Now that Flash 8 is out, it is a bit hard to find, but I have gotten good feedback.  Nothing is radically different about how you approach programming a game in Flash 8, you just have some access to much cooler visual capabilities.\n\nAlso, if you are interested, I write a blog at http://justin.everett-church.com and write about game development for the web and for mobile devices (Flash Lite) periodically.
