Can anyone recommend a decent actionscript book?

As the title says, consider me starting from square 1. Can anyone recommend a decent book on actionscript? I was eyeing the Actionscript 3 bible.

Thanks for any input.

If you're familiar with event driven programming you probably don't need a book. The actionscript manual is decent and there are lots of tutorials online for everything else:
