    Great advice so far. Thanks a bunch.

    I was initially leaning towards going the AS 3.0 route, but eventually got side-tracked having to learn AfterEffects for a project at work.

    I have enough friggin books on AS 3.0 laying around as it is, so that might be the best route for me to take. Only problem is, all of the AS 3.0 books I have already are so literal. I want to get a book that is learn as you go, not "learn this, this, this, then this, and then finally we will give you a practical example to try." Any suggestions? I hate to shell out money on more AS 3.0 books, but the four I have already are just not what I was hoping for.

    I've got the Colin Moock book, the AS 3.0 bible, Learning AS 3.0 (O'Reilly, which seems to be more of a here's how to play with palettes in Flash CS4 instead of Learn to code), and the fourth is a book on AS 3.0 animation practices.

    A nice jump-start book would be great.
