I'm trying to get started on Flash/AS3 development via FlashDevelop/Flex SDK, since Adobe CS4 is far out of my price range for home experimentation and self-tuition. Unfortunately pretty much everything on the web for Flash development, including most of the stuff about FlashDevelop, assumes you've come from a more traditional Flash development background. Anybody got any hints how I can start being productive with this environment? Ideally I'd like some links to online resources starting with a Hello World and moving up to actually getting stuff moving on-screen. (I've tried copy and pasting 2 Hello Worlds written for the Adobe environment and they don't build.) Failing that, cheap book recommendations would be welcome, providing they don't rely too heavily on the original Adobe environment.

I got a lot of good use out of this tutorial series. I worked through it, then from there I've managed to get by so far with just occasional references to the documentation.

I've not used FlashDevelop as I've always used the fully-priced development tools at work. I know this may not be what you want right now, but this is the MSDN-equivalent for AS3 and should be pretty helpful to you later on.

Thanks, those two links should be helpful.
