Actions Script: The Definitive Guide by Colin Moock. This is the single most useful book I've ever read on Flash. It really helped me move from Director and Javascript over into Flash. It's really focused on scripting, as opposed to the animations features, but it's a great book.
this is the best recommendation...however i would wait for the updated version of this that will deal with the new version of actionscript, which has undergone significant changes in this last mx 2004 upgrade.
you could probably learn the drawing tools and animation techniques from the macromedia tutorials and info on the web. however, a good guide on actionscript will really take your flash work to a much more sophisticated level...

Are there any books/publishers that excel in Flash tutorials?
