My eight years old son asks to "teach him programming in Flash". Can somebody refer on good Actionscript learning resource online? The Flash version we have is "Flash MX".

Thank you in advance.

A: 

You should also check out some stuff from top AS developers (Brimelow, Skinner, Moock), although, nowadays much of the material will be focused on AS3 (Flash 9/10).

You might also want to upgrade to Flash MX2004, since that is when AS2 was introduced. It's a much nicer version of the language to code in, and if the jump to AS3 is ever made,it won't be as tough as coming form AS1.

As far as books covering ActionScript go, check out Essential Actionscript by Colin Moock. It'll cover pretty much everything you'll need.
