Yes - the Friends of Ed book is probably better, but if you don't have a good enough handle on AS 1, you'll be even more confused by AS 2. At some point, the "person in question" just needs to jump off the dock and start swimming. :)
I have found the OOP aspects of AS2 learnable only by repeated experience - experimenting, trying again, reading, trying some more, etc. The syntax of AS2 is the easy part - the design pattern is what takes time to learn. Focus on the syntax of AS2 (class strucutre, public/private/static, typecasting) and then the actual implementation of practical use just takes practice.
