Should i use Adobe Flash or Flex for action scripting

Question

I am new to flash and learning action script 3. I am using flex. But i find it hard.

Should i use Adobe flash so that i can insert the components by drag and drop

Answer 1

You can use the Design view in Flex to drag and drop components too, but that doesn't matter.

What matters is is why you want learn actionscript 3 ? What do you want to use if for ?

For RIAs and the like, Flex is a good option. For rich media websites/presentations/games, go with Flash as you'll have more/easier control over media.

Bad news is since actionscript 3, there is no easy way, but all the hard work will pay off. Once you get used to it/get to the point where it clicks, it might be a bit hard, but not impossible.

Goodluck
