Good book for learning the basics

I bought this back when Flash 8 was popular (now I'm on CS5). It was a great way to learn the basics of Flash. All I needed at the time was something basic and this walked you through the workspace and basic functionality/animation skills necessary to complete projects.

There were a couple times I felt the book assumed you knew a couple things about flash and if you don't know them it is a pain, but you can get by with a quick web search. Other than that it is a good book, but probably outdated now (unless you are using Flash 8).
