hi all,
as the author of an oop book myself, i have to admit that books aren't
always the right learning tool for everyone. i agree with benny...i've
liked the video training that's been emerging over the last few years.
here are a bunch of other free options:
http://gotoandlearn.com/
http://tv.adobe.com/show/actionscript-11-with-doug-winnie/
http://tv.adobe.com/channel/development/actionscript
http://tv.adobe.com/show/max-2009-develop/
in fact, there's also a "video version" of Essential ActionScript 3.0
available called "The Lost ActionScript 3.0 Weekend". it's a commercial
product, but lots of it is freely available online here:

the full video is available at:

once you're up to speed on the basics, examples, practice, and a helping
community like flashcoders should take you the rest of the way.
if you're doing any flex work, i find peter dehaan's examples to be a
fantastic resource:
http://flexexamples.com/
and for targeted questions, the stackoverflow community is really helpful:
http://stackoverflow.com/questions/tagged/actionscript
happy coding!

Hi Susan I cannot recommend any OOP book but I can recommend Lynda.com.
Lynda.com has some great video courses, like
http://www.lynda.com/home/DisplayCourse.aspx?lpk2=759
Which amongst other covers OOP fundamentals and common design patterns.

I got AS 3 w/Design Patterns right when I delved into AS3 and I found the
examples too long and complicated to follow. I would not recommend it as
an
introduction to OOP.
Noted. And your thoughts, if any, on The Object-Oriented Thought Process?
