Getting used to AS 3.0

So I downloaded the trial version of Flash CS3 (finally, thanks to Adobe. The new welcome screen allows you to create a couple of different document types, one is Flash Document AS 2.0 and the other is Flash Document AS 3.0. The difference between AS 2 & 3 is huge, so I'm tearing all over the web to look for good resources.

Senocular has an article called Getting Started with ActionScript 3.0 in Adobe Flash CS3. One of the changes, for example, is the fact that you can no longer put scripts on objects, i.e. buttons, movie clips. All of the scripts you write have to be in the timeline only!?!

Event handling is so different now. In AS 2.0 you could easily write an onClipEvent script for a MovieClip or an on (release) event on a button to get things going. No longer. The method is completely different.

There are other big changes too, so check out the article.
