JavaScript/ActionScript

[ubik]

If one would learn JavaScript first, would it be fairly easy to make the transition over to Flash's Actionscript? or do you think it will still be much of a time consumption to learn ActionScript as well?

The core languages are pretty similar. (ActionScript is a development of JavaScript, so that's a given...)

But the biggest part of learning will be the library, and the libraries of the browser object models and the object model used in actionscript are very different.
