If you are new to actionscript should you learn actionscript 2.0 first or just skip it and learn actionscript 3.0?

Answer:

SKIP IT and learn ActionScript 3.0 (AS3).

Unlike books where it is best to read the first in the series before the last, learning ActionScript 2.0 if your ultimate goal is to be able to program ActionScript 3.0 will hinder your progress. The way in which 2.0 and 3.0 work can be vastly different. AS2 is not the training wheels for ActionScript 3.0. AS3 is actually easier that AS2. It will not be beneficial to learn AS2 and re-learn many things for ActionScript 3.0.


For Everything Foundation and Fundamental are very very important to develop your Application as your choice, so Basic Learning ll help u a lot to improve u lot.......!!
