CS6 AS3 Noob Guide... Where to start?

Here I sit again. Haven't really done a lot with Flash in a few years. Last I touched was CS3 and never really used AS3.

Now, to save a long winded tale, my daughter wants to build an Epic RPG with dad. We have written the script, developed the characters and set out side quests and even allowed for incidentals, extras and updates, upgrades and at my behest, room for a sequel. I told her that an Epic RPG is doable but will take YEARS. She replied with "We have time, dad."

Okay, so I decide lets do it. I am about to start the very basics of the scripting and she (the talented artist) will begin working on the characters, enemies and backgrounds. I purchased Adobe CS6 MC for this venture (and other ventures of mine).

In the mean time she is after me to teach her Flash. (YAY!) But my limitless experience with AS3 is very evident when I begin to teach her. I have a few books, AS3 classroom in a book, etc. But they don't really go from zero to coder.

I am looking for anything that will teach AS3 from the mind set of someone never seeing Flash before. Not just "what" things are. like variable and objects, etc. But how to start with a NEW package file and what to include from the very beginning, how and why, etc.

Does anyone have any ideas?

Thanks!

Bump..

for example, last time I used any AS3 it was on an external .as file and I had to start with

Code:

---

package{
//code here
}

---

Now (in CS6) when I do that I get errors. I remove the package lines and viola, it all works. DO we not need to declare package anymore?

Anyone know if "modern" books or sites for basic "noob" lessons and tutorials? All I have is for CS3 AS3. Seems a lot has changed. Too many errors and compile difficulties for even the basic things like alpha tweens. Kind of frustrating.
