The book that everyone has been waiting for is finally coming out tomorrow. Arguably the first book that discusses Flex 2.0 and AC 3.0 is out, and like any other O’reilly book, it promises to be a hit. Rather than focus on theory, the ActionScript 3.0 Cookbook concentrates on the practical application of ActionScript, with more than 300 solutions you can use to solve a wide range of common coding dilemmas. You’ll find recipes that show you how to:

• Detect the user’s Flash Player version or their operating system
• Build custom classes
• Format dates and currency types
• Work with strings
• Build user interface components
• Work with audio and video
• Make remote procedure calls using Flash Remoting and web services
• Load, send, and search XML data
• And much, much more …

Check Programming Flex 2 out while you are at it. You got to wait a bit for that book.
