Newbie in Actionscipt Game Design

I am in the initial stage of a computer game that involves the scape velocity concept.I am more in the cartoon side of the equation here,I admit.But at this hour I have all the graphics necessary for the game which briefly I describe:
"The interface consist of a Gas Station floor plan (the board game)where the player(represented by the gas station attendant)has to prepare a hot dog for a wino(the costumer)and go through several stations to finish it.The player has to follow several paths(bread,weenie and relish stations as all you know the necessary ingredients for the dogie)all these marked by footsteps on the floor plan of the gas station. The footsteps represent: a)the edge of the footstep = kinetic energy and b)the center of the footstep = the GPE or gravitational potential energy. The player steps on the wrong footstep edge, he gets sucked and trow to a black hole represented by the center of the board game. My public request here is what book out there can anybody suggest to read on this matter. I want to use latest Action script for the game.
