AS3 intro thread

[Veritias]

So, how many have tried AS3? I'm finding it awesome, but a bit difficult as there are such few tutorials for AS3 and a ton for AS2.

Anyone know of any good tutorial sites for AS3?

What's your thoughts about AS3?

I'm an AS1 & AS2 programmer but since AS3 came out I didn't even want to try it.. but definitely it's a good option because you can do more things and easier than before

Yeah, but there is a huge lack of tutorials for AS3, and a ton for AS1 and AS2...It makes it really difficult to learn when there is nothing to learn from. And I really don't want to start with AS2 to learn AS3 since the difference is big..And I feel AS2 will be like VB..once you learn VB it's really difficult to move on to another language...

Well, AS1 and AS2 are someway similar to VB (of course, not the same), and that's also the reason I dont want to learn AS3, because it would be something totally different. And yes, there's a lack of tutorials for AS3 because it's relatively new, but that will change in time. But don't worry, I learned AS after VB, and personally I didn't have any problem at all!

Nice, I am struggling to create a simple news reader, and the variant I want costs dollars, and no tutorials on it -.- Also there are no tutorials on how to implement a freaking scroll bar! It's ridicolous, making me want to perhaps move to AS2..
