by Peter Backx, Dominic Gelineau

Overview

Step-by-step instructions guide you from your very first graphical program to highly complex 3D presentations.

The "ActionScript Graphing Cookbook" is aimed at any ActionScript developer who wants to add data visualization to their skill set. The reader should be familiar with ActionScript basics, but no deep knowledge of any graphical functions is required.
