This is the kind of post which makes me happy 
Some of you guys may remember the sad story concerning my book who was supposed to be published by O'Reilly France. Finally, O'Reilly France went into a bankrupt and my book was never released.
Since a few months, the book is available for download on the dedicated website and it is a great pleasure to see people sending some fixes and erratas to make the book better.
Last week, Pearson, contacted me to print the book !
So what is going to be printed ?
I am currently updating the book for Flash CS4, so that the printed book will be up to date and fresh 
Thank you Pearson for taking this challenge that some publishers could not take.
A few chapters will be added to the book especially concerning the Flash Player 10 new features (3D, fragment shaders, new text engine) but I will also cover some stuff I couldn't cover in the current version, especially XML (E4X), RegExp, and first steps with Flex and AIR.
When the book will be released ?
Right on time for Flash CS4

I learned a lot from the book so far. Thanks.

Does that mean the book will be published in English language (for its first edition or next) ?
Hi Tek,
No, the first edition will still be in French. Let’s hope Pearson will then translate it
Congrats!
You might want to consider sharing the PDF version of your book on Issuu.
