I learned programming in flash with as2 a little and then as3, and I feel that is still the easiest way to learn programming, you convert your symbols into classes and bam, in two seconds you're doing OOP, setting properties and calling methods (like play() stop()), it even helped me find the use of sines and cosines because it wasn't clear how trigonometry was useful back in school. I find it easier to learn the concrete stuff first, and then go to the abstract.
