FWIW, I tried to do some coding in Actionscript a few years ago after being immersed in C++ for many years and then Objective-C/Cocoa for a few years. To say that it was an exercise in utter frustration is an understatement. As a programmer in these "real" languages I found AS to be really mickey-mouse.

Others' opinions will no doubt vary but I suspect that if you know AS well, moving to what I call a real language is going to mean unlearning a huge heap of rubbish. Sorry, just my opinion.
