ActionScript basics overview

ActionScript has rules of grammar and punctuation that determine which characters and words are used to create meaning and in which order they can be written. For example, in English, a period ends a sentence; in ActionScript, a semicolon ends a statement.

The general rules described in this section apply to all ActionScript. Most ActionScript terms also have individual requirements; for the rules for a specific term, see its entry in Flash ActionScript Language Reference. Applying the basics of ActionScript in a way that creates elegant programs can be a challenge for users who are new to ActionScript. For more information on how to apply the rules described in this section, see Using Best Practices.

I am a professor and want documentation of ActionScript for beginning programmers. What I found here is good reference material, but not a tutorial for beginners to discover ActionScript. I am hoping to teach an introduction to Game development with Flash MX 2004 this fall as part of a new degree in Animation and Graphics Game Programming.
