ActionScript newbie, need some help

I started learning flash and actionscript very recently and I am having fun with it. Now, here's something I wanna do with actionscript and since I am pretty new, I am not yet sure where to look for to learn what I want. I am specifically looking for image manipulation techniques that can be achieved with AS, for example, basic image manipulation like changing contrast/brightness, transform image etc. Can anyone guide me towards any relevant tutorial/resources that would be easy to understand for a beginner.

There are a lot of good books out there. Colin Moock's Essential Actionscript is by far my favorite book.

If your looking for some online help or tutorials heres a list of references:

A nice tutorial on active tuts for changing the brightness of an image.

Senocular is an AWESOME reference in anything flash. Here he talks about the Matrix class is basically any size manipulation to a movieclip of image.

Finally the Adobe live docs are the best place for you to learn the built in classes AS3 has to offer. the Movieclip.transform property is the basis for all aspects of image manipulation (hue,tint,etc).

Good luck in your learning, I remember how exciting it was for me!

Check out these pages:

http://gotoandlearn.com/index.php?currentpage=6

Watch the videos titled:

Introduction to Pixel Bender: Part 1

Introduction to Pixel Bender: Part 2

Animating Pixel Bender Filters

This will have you well on your way. The rest of the site is packed with hundreds of free videos + source files (in many cases) so you should be well on your way with this website. The tutorials on that website are actually my foundation/roots/beginnings in flash. Of course since then I've moved on to more advanced topics/theory etc but there is more than enough information to come out a real flash developer. :)

I would recommend buying the book Learning Actionscript 3.0. This is the book I started with and to be honest I never needed another book on Actionscript again. It covers pretty much everything, including image manipulation.

You can see and download the samples from the book here. For image manipulation, I would recommend looking at example of 'Drawing With Pixels'.
