    It's a completely different product from flash, aimed more at developers. It is not a design app or a replacement for flash.

    The actionscript is the same(ish), but the way you build apps is quite different. (unless you wrote everything programmatically in flash, but even then some of it is different.)

    That said, it's a breeze to use once you pick it up. You'll probably wonder how you ever did without data binding in flash. If you're planning to do a larger app, definitely look into the cairngorm microarchitecture... it's got some handy design patterns and best practices.

    Don't expect to pick it up right away, but if you know flash, html/xml and maybe a little java, you'll be set.
