Interesting. I have heard of haXe but never investigated.
Thanks,

So would you say it would be advantageous for aspiring Flash

learn C#?
Or leave it alone, not needed? I hear they are very similar as well.
I was wondering what the benefits would be.
AS3 and C# are very similar, yes.
I think it's advantageous for aspiring programmers to learn more than
one language, especially if one of the languages they're learning is
domain-specific, like AS3. I think C# would be a fine choice for an
alternate language to learn, although it might actually be better to
choose something that isn't so similar, like Python.

You could also look at haXe which can produce output that juns on a
number of Virtual machines including the FlashPlayer.
It can also use Flash objects.
It is strongly typed to encourage good programming practices.
www.haxe.org.
It has a strong user community that can be very helpful to people
starting out.
