I recommend Foundation Actionscript 3.0 with Flash and Flex. It’s comprehensive and the chapters on Audio and Video are superb. Of course I may be a little bias as I’m co-authoring it and I wrote those chapters

Hi there, small correction! The AS3 Bible is by Roger Braunstein, Joey Lott, Josh Noble, Mims Wright. Not just me! Amazon doesn’t have the right info
Thanks!

i just bought advanced actionScript 3.0 with design patterns and it goes well with my head first design patterns for java. actually, i started learning java after i got confused about object oriented programing with action script–and it’s my little secret–learning java will help you with your action scripting immensely because they are very similar now, flash still has to catch up, but there are a LOT of books out there for java. i recommend head first java, java examples in a nutshell, and java swing. get these books and you’ll think you’re in an alternate universe using an alternate flash. basically, you’ll learn the OOP that they’re not teaching in the other actionScript books i have: actionScript 3.0 cookbook( which is good by the way ) and actionScript 3.0 animation. hope this helps some of y’all eager to learn as3 sooner rather than later.
