I'm a fairly experienced Web Developer. I know the LAMP stack, I can work with Javascript from a procedural level. What I'm looking for is a good resource for someone without previous Action Script experience to get his head in the game. These days for JS I usually just use jQuery and it solves most all of my UI needs. However, as time goes on, I see that I need to enhance my skill set by learning to at-least do the most rudimentary things with flash via AS3. I've worked with C, C++, Java, C# within educational settings. I know what objects are, strict typing, even generic classes, stacks, queues etc.

http://www.adobe.com/devnet/actionscript/ is not a bad starting point
If you want books then the following are good:
http://www.amazon.com/Essential-ActionScript-3-0-Colin-Moock/dp/0596526946
http://www.amazon.com/ActionScript-3-0-Cookbook-Application-Developers/dp/0596526954
There is also ActionScript Design Patterns book, which is supposed to be nice.

It depends on how much time you have and how much you want to learn. You could start with the official developer guide from http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/devguide_flex3.pdf
