ActionScripting Book Suggestions?

Any suggestions on books to learn more action scripting? And one that's not a Flash Reference Manual, nor a Flex programming guide like most books out there.
I have enough coding experience with Javascript, C, ASP, PHP, Coldfusion, etc etc to understand concepts, but I just don't do enough Actionscripting to warrant me using Flash in my work right now and I'd like to change that. I'm guessing I should dive into AS3 but our freelancers at our agency are still doing AS2, so I'm guessing AS3 still hasn't caught on fully yet. Suggestions? I already know about the popular sites like kirupa, gotoandlear, and lynda.com.

yeah, just dive into AS3. it's so different from the previous AS versions that you'll be safer to just start from scratch. as it is that's what i'm doing but with all the baggage of old knowledge to confuse me.
