[flexcoders] Please tell me if this is a good way to learn AS3??

I have find limited examples on AS3 therefore I am using a lot of Java programs 
and pretty much switching them into the AS3 language and run them and it seems 
to work. From your expertise is it a good way to learn AS3?
(Of course I am making changes as Java is similar to AS3 but not identical)
