Learning AS 3.0

[steven_h_2000]

I have downloaded the F9 preview, F9 player, went through some tutorials, and I am on my way to learning AS 3.0....however I must say....it is much more difficult to learn then earlier versions, perhaps I'm stepping into it incorrectly, I'm not sure.

What is the best start to learning AS 3.0?

There are no books yet. Check the resources page here in this forum and learn from tutorials and by just trying. :)

It is not much more difficult than AS2. It just takes time to get used to what all the objects/properties are.
Off course, AS2 was simpler (but usually messier) if you didn't use classes. If you can use classes properly in AS2, AS3 shouldn't be a problem at all.
So, if you want to learn AS3 but you're new to OOP, you might as well learn it in AS2 first because you'll find a lot more information about it. Then, adapting to AS3 should be relatively easy.
