what's the best way to learn AS3 for complete beginners?

[floppsybunny]

I need help and don't know where to look! I want to learn enough ActionScript 3.0 so I can build web pages in flash CS3. Presumably, I need to know how to write actions for MovieClip objects that play only once (to animate new page instances) how to link to URLs, how to link to pages within the application, and generally how to incorporate my flash animations and images into a dynamic, interactive webpage application.

I have absolutely no experience with ActionScript 3.0, 2.0, or anything. I am only a designer (so far) using Illustrator and Photoshop and animating using Flash CS3. I have some HTML and CSS knowledge.

Can someone recommend the best route to learning as much ActionScript as I will need to build webpages, assuming I'm a complete newbie to the subject?

Thanks very much!
