When I first began to learn ActionScript, I had to try a variety of different sources before I found a few that I could understand and actually learn from. ActionScript was my first programming language, so I knew nothing about the basics. Here are a few of the resources I used to learn ActionScript for the very first time.<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Lynda.com<\/a>
    \nLynda.com contains hundred of great video tutorials for a variety of computer-related topics, from learning to use the Mac, to using Dreamweaver. However, the ones that taught me the most were the ones from the     ActionScript series<\/a>. They are great for any beginner who has little or no knowledge of programming. If you are a visual learner who wants to start ActionScript, this is a great resource for you. The only problem with it is that it isn\u2019t free, there is a monthly subscription cost to their videos. But, I think it is definitely worth it. You can get a free 7 day trial period at this link<\/a><\/span><\/li>\n
  2. kirupa.com<\/a>
    \nkirupa is probably my absolute favorite free tutorial site. It contains a seemingly endless arsenal of flash tutorials that I\u2019ve been using for quite some time now. Their topics range from tips for total beginners to in-depth tutorials for advanced developers. Anyone can be happy. Their     forums<\/a> are also great for asking and answering questions.
    \n<\/span><\/li>\n
  3. Flash Kit<\/a>
    \nFlash Kit I believe is the oldest and largest site devoted to flash tutorials and such. But, time has not worn down this great flash resource. Tutorials are added constantly and are mostly of high quality and very useful. The issue I have with it is the ugly design and confusing navigation. But, once you get used to those, learning ActionScript will be a snap<\/span><\/li>\n
  4. DZone<\/a>
    \nDZone is a great place to find links about anything developer-related. Hundreds of links are added daily by the community and you can vote on which ones are most useful or useless. I myself have had quite a few of my posts up there and I\u2019ve been able to get some interesting feedback on my posts, which have helped me make better posts. You should definitely check it out

  5. I\u2019ve noticed that this topic has been done by many blogger before, and they might be better at explaining it than me, so here are a few of their posts:
