Millie, I have this book and am half way through it. Having flipped ahead in the book I can say this. The first two-thirds of the book focus on OOP, class architecture, and patterns. The last third of the book talks more to specific AS3 implementation.
With that said, I find it to be a very valuable book. I had previously read Head First Design Patterns, but it used Java to demonstrate things. While that was a very good book, it required a level of interpretation and didn't cover some of the intricacies that can be found in AS3. Charles P.

I was just looking at Joey Lott's "Advanced Actionscript 3 With Design Patterns" book in the store, and it looked pretty good, but it had "knowledge of Actionscript 3" as a pre-requisite. I am not aware of any (print) books introducing Actionscript 3... Are there any? I'd like to start learning it (I saw that regular expressions are supported and that alone would be nice...) but I don't like the idea of learning a programming language from beta versions of Adobe's Help...
