The site is back up. Thank you to the Author and O'Reilly for a quick response!

I just spoke with a CS rep at O'Reilly. He assured me the author was looking into getting the companion site back up by this afternoon at that point I also believe O'Reilly will place the sample files on their site too for extra backup.

I agree. I can't get away with this sort of things with my clients. Come on O'Reilly let's get a move on this please. – josh, on September 18, 2008 17:35

I expect more from O'Reilly!

Is there going to be any progress on getting the site back up? I bought the book with using the support site in mind.

I understand it's the authors site but you printed it in your book so I expect to be able to access the site. Months have passed and I see no progress.

I would hope Oreilly would fulfill and back its product. – josh, on September 18, 2008 17:24

The site is still down.

Learningactionscript3.com is a site owned and hosted by the book's author, Rich Shupe.

We got in touch with Rich on this issue and he asked that we let folks know he's experiencing a temporary hosting issue.

He sends:

For the first time since the site went live, LearningActionScript3.com
suffered a temporary outage in the wee hours of Tuesday morning, that lasted
until approximately 2:30 pm EST.

Due to the enormous popularity of the book/site, we were overrun to a
certain degree. Not in the usual sense, as we have an unlimited bandwidth
and unlimited storage plan. But we were very unhappy to find the server
running at 100% cpu capacity despite running only one instance of WordPress
and no other application instances beyond the stock system. As a result of
the pinned capacity, named(BIND) failed, and ceased to resolve DNS values
during the outage.

There is no reason for this to happen considering our hosting plan and
current application pool. As such, the camel's back has been broken and we
are leaving the ISP we have had so much trouble with, and will be moving to a new
host. This will take a week or so to fully migrate, so we ask your patience
during this time in the event that the system is taxed again during that
interval.

Thank you for your patience, and we're very sorry for any inconvenience this
may have caused.

But site doesn't work again
