I have been learning flash using a flash tutorial CD from lynda.com, but now I have finished the tutorials and I know how to do flash sites with the skills Ive used here:

www.Rallystuff.net/version3

However I would like to be able to make my flash sites dynamic and retreive data from databases rather than manually type in the data every time I want to update. What books are there I can buy that would help me learn this but not also include basic stuff like how to create shapes etc? I have been looking into buying this book:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0672328283/qid=1144943972/sr=1-1/ref=sr_1_1/103-9518349-1771824?s=books&v=glance&n=283155

Does anyone know whether this book includes how to dynamically retreive data from other sources? Also to those who have bought this book, is it worth buying?

Thanks,
Curt.

Check the macromedia site (http://www.macromedia.com/)
OR
Go to help>tutorials
Although these resources aren't books, you might find something useful and free!
