Yah, that's one reason I enjoyed actionscript (But I stopped as there weren't enough non-flash professional oriented tutorials).
I think I've worked out python classes, or at least the parts that I'll actually use.
I played around with AS2 like 2 years ago and then tried moving to AS3, but Adobe Flash was always too complicated for me and I never really wanted to make graphics with it. I took a liking to Flashdevelop shortly after and started using FlashPunk which took all my Adobe Flash worries away, sadly I never stuck with it. I'd recommend it though - and it's all free!
