Hello. I've found in the past that building a simple mouse avoider game works well to help you start with AS3 and games.

Check out that link ^^ and learn some code. Best of luck! ;)

me.addEventListener(Event.Whenever_
You_Move, function (e:Event):void { gotoAndSay("WTF?") } );
On. actionComplete(run);

I think it's always best to start with a book. I started with these:

Because those are the books I've effectively read, and come along with a short review. I've never bought and read Essential AS3.

That avoider game tutorial has got to be the best introduction to AS3 I've ever had the pleasure of working through.
