Flash is my favourite program for web and graphic design, but Im still learning Action Script and I want to ask professional Action Scripters what is the best way to start studying Action Script? What level of programming skills you need to have to start learning? I have knowledge of C++ and some very basic knowledge of Java but however Action Script is different a bit… Can someone learn Action Script programming if he or she start from this langauge first? or he need to use programming skills from other languages that are also object-oriented?  
Thanks in advance!
