if you're happy with AS1, then Robert Penner's book is all OOP, think
it may be out of print now, http://www.robertpenner.com/profmx/

If you're using AS2, you could enforce OOP on your projects by using a
framework. I've had good, though slow at times (mentally!), results
with PixLib http://osflash.org/projects/pixlib . (the same people are
now building an AS3 framework called LowRa)

There's another framework which is currently being ported over to AS3
called 'Gugga', though this appears to be more geared towards flash
sites than flash apps.

I'm no AS OOP expert though, and would appreciate a skillswap if it
could happen.
