Actionscript! How long does it take to learn?

Hi





I already know my way around Flash, tweening etc, using the built in functionalities, but I'd like to start getting a bit more advanced...





SO





Actionscripting.


How long does it take and is it a bit of a slog?

It depends if you know any other programming languages (especially C-based languages). For example, if you know JavaScript, then you already know 80% of ActionScript.





However, if you do not know any other programming languages it should take several weeks to get a good grip on it. It really depends on how much time you dedicate. Even so, you should be able to do simple things within the first few days.





The best thing that you can do is go to your local bookstore and pick up a book on ActionScript, because learning it from online tutorials can be a real drag.





Here are a couple of sites that might interesting you :

Depends on how much you study. It can be as quick as a few minutes to learn a few commands, to months or years to learn advanced programming topics.
