Well, I unfortunately I can't recommend a good alternatative, but I will say steer clear of Flash_Actionscript and FLASHmacromedia groups on Yahoo - it's filled with very very low level newbies or people who only do animation. So unless you like constantly replying to (or resisting replying to) people who pull crap like:
on(release){ _root.gotoAndPlay(37) _global.Animation34 = "is true" _global.Animation35 = "is false" 03MovieClip._x = 125; } , and then ignore you when you tell them better practices, then avoid those lists. Flashnewbies has actually grown to a more intermediate list and has some more advanced questions here and there. Someone on Yahoo FLASHmacromedia, when responde to a post about what actionscript was used for, actually replied, "don't worry about it, you only need to use Actionscript when connecting to databases or creating web site navigation". I replied with a ??? please elaborate, that's complete BS, but never got a response. The Flexcoders list on Yahoo is really really good though, if it's pure Actionscript 3, then you can ask on there.
