I'd also suggest that you start learning AS3 with Flash Builder 4 (which is still in beta, previously Flex Builder). It'll be a bigger investment as far as time goes but the scripting IDE is 200 times better than Flash IDE. Stay away from the timeline as much as possible and instead stick with tween classes, a la, http://blog.greensock.com/tweenl… .
Some good blogs:

http://www.mikechambers.com/blog…Learning this stuff definitely takes time and patience, and depending on how much natural ability you have to absorb this kind of logic it can be a steep and painful learning curve (I have zero natural ability with code so it's taken fucking forever). I'd also recommend you make really good friends with people who know this stuff inside and out, bake them cookies, stop by to do their laundry, find compromising pictures of them with barnyard animals. I know I would have never learned Actionscript without the mentors I've had. Stick with it. Cheers!
