Heard good things about Rich Shupe too - he's an active participant on our Flash_Tiger list (maybe here too, can't remember). Beside the books, he has a site for learning AS3: http://www.learningactionscript3.com/
Was going to recommend Moock as well, but I'm kinda still angered by his article right now... :) The BEST place though, in my opinion, and in my personal experience, are these lists. You can ask any question and we'll help you learn AS3 - that way, we all benefit. Just start with one question at a time, like how do I add something to the stage with code, or assign click events to buttons...
