I started AS3 in a flex environment in 2007. I only currently code in AS3 as its all i require for games and the type of stuff i do.
I found the journey difficult but all i knew was AS1 (and i didnt even understand it back then). Its not to much the syntax i struggle with but the structure and architecture... how does changes in portion A of my code change portion B elsewhere.... I still struggle with these issues but you start to find easier ways of doing things. Think of a project and break it into small pieces then build each piece. Dont try to start something massive on the first attemp because i did this and was always frustrated. Good luck though mate! If you enjoy what your doing (frustration aside) it will all work out. I will say one thing, if i ever had to start out again, id do C++!
