Actionscript 3 and Flash CS3 upcoming books

I've just finised to read the The Essential Guide to Flex 2 with ActionScript 3.0 by Charles Brown. It's a great book and we're evaluating if using it as learning material for our Flex 2 courses.

Then I went to FriendsOfED site to see if they announced some cool forthcoming book and I was surpised about how many books they are about to release :

Foundation Actionscript 3.0 Animation: Making Things Move!
The Essential Guide to Dreamweaver CS3 with CSS, Ajax, and PHP
Foundation Actionscript 3.0 with Flash CS3 and Flex 2
Foundation Flash CS3 for Designers
Object-Oriented ActionScript 3.0
The Essential Guide to Dreamweaver CS3 with CSS, Ajax, and PHP

We have a lot to read and learn !!

I thought about purchasing this book but was scared off the negative reviews on amazon.com. Those reviewers stated that the examples did not work, there were numerous errors in the text, and that the file downloads were not available.

Did you work through the examples? Did everything run ok? Was the code available?

I appreciate your feedback, as I trust your opinion.
