Thanks for forwarding that link!
I just wanted to add to that - if a person is serious about learning design patterns, it *really* helps to get around a small group of other folks and discuss each pattern in detail - especially in how it relates to ActionScript development. Ali Mills and I worked with a group of Bay Area developers over the past year and went through the Gang of Four book twice. I thought that I had a pretty good comprehension before the study group, but as it turned out - I was wrong! Even after reviewing each pattern every week, we realized that it would be valuable to do them all again.
Joshua Kerievsky (The author of Refactoring to Patterns) has a really great site devoted to helping people organize just such a meeting:

I can't wait until more flash developers get into Patterns, Test-Driven Development and agile processes!
BTW - Don't forget to check out the newly-released AsUnit XUL UI and AsUnit 3.0 for ActionScript 3!
Thanks,
