I need a book that will teach me advanced collisions like that linerider (www.linerider.com) game. So far on my own I haven't figured it out. I've got a number of books (which are BOUGHT, so I am planning to buy) that teach me collision and such, but nothing that shows stuff like the linerider game. If anyone could show me a couple of books that would be great.
Advanced physics/collision -- Flash

Thanks, I'm looking at it now. Is it just normal collision reaction though? I mean, I know how to do angled collisions and ball collisions, or can it teach me how to make realistic collision reactions? I wan't to know before I start buying.

Sorry, what is exactly IK & AK? I'm not very knowledgable on math terms.
EDIT: Wait aren't you talking about Inverse Kinematics and Forward Kinematics? If so, that's sort of what I'm looking for, but if you look at the example I showed you, the object has suspension, and it works realistically.

Inverse and Advanced Kinematics.. These 2 books are the only books on the market that show you advanced Actionscript.
Maybe you could have a look at the sourcefiles of yugop and levitated.

I don't think I'd get much from looking at the source files from levitated and yugop. I looked at the source file of the linerider game and I couldn't make sense of the code. I couldn't even tell what actually make it do what it did.
As for the kinematics, are you sure that they are what I'm looking for? Because I can only see them being used on the person, not the sled the person is riding. I'm not very good at math so I don't know... Would it be helpful to learn kinematics on its own, and not with Flash? I'm not sure how easy it would be to incorporate.

Generally it helps to know the theory, then apply that theory to whatever it is your working with. There are probably a good number of websites that cover physics and kinetics and all that stuff. Get on google man (think of google as a really really big tutorial database 
).
).
