About scripting in ActionScript

You can start writing simple scripts without knowing much about ActionScript. All you need is a goal; then it's just a matter of choosing the right actions. The best way to learn ActionScript is to create a script. You can use the Actions panel to guide you through setting up simple scripts. (See Writing Scripts with ActionScript.) Once you're comfortable adding basic actions such as play and stop to your document, you can begin to learn more about the language. To use the full power of ActionScript, it is important to understand how the language works: the concepts, elements, and rules that the language uses to organize information and create interactive movies.
