btw, i've done the same a few months ago and found the learing curve to be very smooth (coming from a c++/c# background -- and returning there now :)). AS3 is close enough to other c-syntax-like (garbage collected) languages. Flex Builder close enough to other common IDEs I've used before. I got started by just having a look at the quick starts at the adobe site (http://www.adobe.com/devnet/flex/?tab:quickstart=1). Adobe also provides the source code for a lot of the basic controls, having a look at that also helped me. Also the adobe docs/help are fairly good and complete all in all. Anyways, have a nice Sunday (or what's left of it) Ben
