this one is pretty good.
it helped me develop my N character using the tween class.

I also looked at "How to cheat in Flash CS4", which gave me a better idea of how i can colour my characters using gradients and shadows. The tween tutorials are nice as well. In my opinion, it's very useful book, but you need to have some basic knowledge in flash to actually understand everything that's written. I din't get everything so i has to checked it separetly in google:D However, i have a PDF version of it so if someone's interested, just let me know:)
