I mentioned a few books at the end of this article when I originally wrote it (gosh, it's been two years!). In the mean time, I co-authored a migration reference for O'Reilly whose aim is to gently guide developers from AS2 to AS3. It isn't an OOP reference per se, but if should help anyone already comfortable with AS2 who finds the switch baffling. The first half of the book is basically written as a "fireside chat," and the second half of the book is organized like a typical O'Reilly cookbook. http://tinyurl.com/dpsAS3QuickReferenceGuide OP,

Switching between different versions of design programs can be such a pain. Your idea to continue using an older version if necessary while learning OOP makes the life of a designer much easier, especially those who need to use such versions as AS2 or AS1. Like you pointed out, eventually everyone will need to make the switch to AS3, and knowing OOP will make the switch that much easier. Thanks for this.
