Great book for flash starters:
Even if you already have flash cs4, this book gives you the basic rules of flash, something that the more advanced books fail to mention. If you are just now getting familiar with flash, this is a great start.

I just wish they had a book like this to learm Dreamweaver and it would have been easy to learn. When I went to learn Flash it was easy and all I can say is WOW. You can learn Flash easily with this book. If you really want to learn Flash and you are a beginner this is the book.
