I can't see how the criticism of how the example files are named chaps this person so much. If you're looking at the code examples in the book, the example file names are sensible enough.
I do agree, however, that some more consistent name correlation would have been easy to do and very useful: either print the literal filename in the book with each example, or name the files based on the section they illustrate.
Otherwise, I found the examples to be very useful, and the book was a primary resource for me to learn Flex starting from zero.
One thing that would have been helpful for me is a half a chapter dedicated to fundamental concepts of OOP. I suggest you go elsewhere first and study fundamental OOP concepts before tackling Flex. There is almost no finger hold available on Flex that does not require a conceptual understanding of OOP.
