2008/2/7-11 [Computer/SW/Languages] UID:49084 Activity:low | 2/7 Hi I'd like to learn Flash. I have no UI experience but I just want to
learn for the sake for curiosity. I just want to create something that
is interactive and fun, and don't care about scalability/extensibility/
reliability/efficiency/blah-blah. What language is Flash most similar
to and how easy/difficult is it to get started (e.g. "hello world")?
