I will admit off the get go that I haven't researched this subject very much myself as of yet, but plan to. However, I decided the quickest and easiest way to get a "feel for things" would be to ask Flash Developers. So here is my question. Which is the prefered scripting language, .php or .asp?

From my understanding .php runs on servers using a Linux OS and .asp runs on servers running a Windows OS. If that is incorrect, please by all means correct me, as this is just what I have been told. Mostly I see .php being used with Flash, however from the brief scripts that I have seen of AS3 it appears to resemble VB/.Net or VBScript in alot of ways. Since I only have worked with AS1 and decided I wanted to teach myself either .php or .asp (eventually both), which would be the one to start with? I'm thinking .asp since AS3 resembles VB it will aid in the transition from AS1 to AS3. Thoughts.....
