Hi Jason, I wrote a simple tutorial for AS3 (and Flex2) in FlashDevelop, doesn't involve the FlashIDE but a good place to get started playing with AS3 and if you're interested in flex it covers the basics of that too. Also explains my setup for having an FD for AS2 and one for AS3.

Hey off the top of my head, I think I see the problem. So, you add the text field child to the HelloWorld Sprite. Adding the child in the hello world sprite, does not add it to the stage. When you use add child alone, you have to pretend it's this.addChild. If you chose to import
