    Hi,

    Flash has a built in scripting language called ActionScript, it's not considered as a strict programming language, it's rather a scripting engine with no access to file I/O or low level hardware control.

    I would strongly recommend flash help itself, you would not find a better reference for beginners.

    Hey ComputerzWorld,

    I think some of the best info you can get for free regarding ActionScript programming is available from Macromedia (now Adobe) themselves. Have a look around at the following URL:

    http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flash/

    Also, you can search the web for "actionscript livedocs" and find tons of stuff as well. I am assuming here that maybe you do not have access to the Flash development environment help files.

    Oh, as a bit of trivia, ActionScript is actually a specific implementation of a scripting language specification called ECMAScript. JavaScript actually has the same roots. Just a bit of interesting (or not) trivia.

    Good luck!

    If you really want to learn something about action script I would recommend that you actually purcahse an begginers guide to action script.
