I need the very basics of AS3. An intro the vocab like string, variable, function, etc… I’ve been reading through beginner tutorials and things and they don’t explain what these things are, they just say how to use them. ok so i have to have var myVar:String = Whatever. but what in the world is a variable?!
does anyone know where i can get a very basic, AS3 for idiots information so I can learn AS3 a little easier? it would be GREATLY appreciated.
thanks in advance!
Flash help is a good place to start.

If that’s still too low-level, you may want to google some getting started with programming web sites
I don’t want to confuse you with this link - because this 3-4 versions old regarding flash, however, for basic programming concepts and terms that relate to pretty much any version of actionscript - this first few chapters of this book does a great job of defining and explaining all of that.
Its what gave me many epiphanies when starting to learn actionscript.
AS:TDG was the book that truly got me going with the original AS 
AS for Flash MX was duly purchased as well.
Moock’s spiritual successor, Essential ActionScript 3.0 is good, though I feel not as genuinely amazing as the original AS:TDG. Of course I’ve got it sitting next to me when I write stuff, but for a beginner it may be a bit harder to grasp the concepts presented.
