Actionscript 3.0 is not exactly something that you 'get'. Actionscript 3.0 is a programming language that is tied in with Adobe's Flash Player; it allows you to write code that, when used with the Flash IDE (Integrated Development Environment), helps you to create rich web applications, such as the games that you see on Miniclip.com and so forth.
If you want to 'get' AS3, I think what you're looking for is actually the Flash IDE or another way to make Flash files. You can purchase the Flash IDE, which creates flash applications (SWF's), from Adobe, here:

Note that the official Flash IDE, created by Adobe, is the easiest one to start learning with, but it is also the most expensive one, weighing in at US$700.
If you'd like to learn and publish JUST Actionscript, and find another way to draw, animate, etc (AS3 can do all of these, but not as easily as if you have the IDE to help you), you can download programs such as FlashDevelop (flashdevelop.org) for free.

Is it possible to put actionscript2 code in a Actionscript 3 file?
No, it is not possible to put Actionscript 2.0 code in an Actionscript 3.0 code file. The Actionscript virtual machine that runs Actionscript 3.0 code is completely different from the Actionscript 1.0 and 2.0 virtual machine. The only way to include Actionscript 2.0 code in an Actionscript 3.0 project would be to have the Actionscript 3.0 Flash file load an external Actionscript 2.0 Flash file.

Current selection cannot have actions applied to it cs3 i am trying to make a button and i keep getting this message?
First make sure that the object you are trying to add Actionscript to is a symbol (movie clip, button or graphic). If you are using Actionscript 3 you can't apply Actionscript directly to objects as you can in AS2. You need to add code that refer to the target button via its instance name. You will need to Google something along the lines of "Flash CS3 Actionscript 3 use buttons to control the timeline" if that is what you are trying to achieve.

SKIP IT and learn ActionScript 3.0 (AS3).Unlike books where it is best to read the first in the series before the last, learning ActionScript 2.0 if your ultimate goal is to be able to program ActionScript 3.0 will hinder your progress. The way in which 2.0 and 3.0 work can be vastly different. AS2 is not the training wheels for ActionScript 3.0. AS3 is actually easier that AS2. It will not be beneficial to learn AS2 and re-learn many things for ActionScript 3.0.For Everything Foundation and Fundamental are very very important to develop your Application as your choice, so Basic Learning ll help u a lot to improve u lot.......!!
