When I began to use createjs, in particular easeljs I was really pleased because it seemed to me to program (quite) exactly as in Flash. A demo is worth 1000 words so here it is 2 demos I made in html/js by using that library (obviously I use also a lot jquery as support and the greensock libs for tweening): Monkey Island - Insult Swordfighting Game http://www.int33h.com/test/mi/ Dungeon Master Social Demo http://www.int33h.com/test/dm/ I'm really pleased by the results. I stronlgy suggest that if you want to learn html/js then you have to begin with createjs.
