Honestly, CyBrain, I feel your pain - I can only recommend like a 2 pronged approach to the problem, which you seem to have worked out already..
a) A chunky refernce like O'Reilly's Essential AS3, which you can just gulp a few dozen pages of at a time. Moock is careful and methodical about how he introduces both OO principals and the language to describe them, and I'd suggest reading, then rereading, then rerereading little chunks at a time, maybe on the toilet, just don't rush it. You can't hammer through it like a novel - When you get to listeners and things like bubbling phases and so on, just go real slow, get anal about it, force the details down, then go back and just keep going over it til it slips down like oiled wine.b) Faithfully follow along tutes like gotoandlearn's more basic as3 stuff - Brimelow is really a hero of mine, perfectly paced an weighted tutes that you really can follow in real-time and get very pleasing results..
that's it really - Hammer the theory down your think pipe until you can actually 'think' in as3, the way you really could with as2, and also bust out and have some 'fun' taking baby steps - soon enough the tutes will seem like child's play, even ones you haven't done before, and the book will be complete, ready for frequent references to, and rereadings of.
This is as much advice to myself, as anyone else..
