Good ActionScript book for ColdFusion -Flash Forms?

I have been developing in CF for a while and am just starting to use the CF Flash forms. Never used/wrote in Action Script before and am wondering what a good book would be to start with. I keep seeing ActionScript MX, 2.0 and 3.0 Not sure where to begin. Thanks

Since CF Flash forms are based on Flex 1.5 and Flex 3 is on the horizon, I'd recommend you look into using Flex instead. I asked Tim Buntel at WebDU whether CF Flash in CF 8 will be updated to Flex 2 and he no, but will kept in at Flex 1.5 for existing applications.

What is required to use flex? Do you need the Flex server?

Flex 2 SDK is free and is now a client side tool with which to generate swfs that you can upload to the server. You can download it from adobe.com/flex. You can use your favourite text editor to create the .mxml source files. Or you can try/buy Flex Builder 2 to edit/create your Flex applications. Additionally, you can also download from the labs Flex Compiler Shell and Flex Ant Tasks (you're familiar with Ant). Also on the labs is the Flex Module for Apache and IIS if you really want/need server side compilation.
