Happy Holidays!
I just noticed The Essential Guide to Processing for Flash Developers is in stock on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/dp/1430219793/?tag=bcomp08-20. Though, I have yet to hold an actual copy. The book, per title, targets experienced AS3 developers. Though, I also designed all the book examples to be applicable for any intermediate level coder, especially folks looking for a follow-up book to the intro p5 texts.
The book includes a fast paced 2 chapter primer on the core language, followed up by some in-depth OOP theory and then individual project chapters, where completed projects are developed. These include a particle engine; "serious" game, including basic AI; artificial life framework, based on cellular automata and a 3D information visualization, in Java mode.

More info is at:http://www.friendsofed.com/book.html?isbn=9781430219798, though the site copy hasn't been properly updated. Check out the Google preview for the most up-to-date info.
