If you want to learn AS3, first learn syntax. Since you know Java I assume this is not a problem because it's almost the same. Then, focus on learning the framework (what classes are available, etc). Finally, dig into the component lifecycle. This is the hardest but is important to know how components "live" in order to build your custom components in a way that integrates perfectly into the core.
I agree, don't just copy java. Use tutorials and definitely take advantage of anything that is open source. Seeing how others did something will help you overcome a lot of hurdles. -Jake On Wed, Mar 3, 2010 at 1:52 PM, primo411 <[email protected]> wrote: > > > IMHO this is a bad idea.
