ActionScript 3.0 is the latest version of ActionScript, which is an object-oriented programming language and, therefore, cannot be purchased anywhere. One can find reference material on ActionScript 3.0 at the official Adobe website or one can find out more about ActionScript in general at Wikipedia.
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.
Adobe Flash CS4 does support Actionscript 1.0. The Actionscript 2.0 virtual machine fully supports Actionscript 1.0 code. Simply choose the Actionscript 2.0 file format, and code any Actionscript 1.0 code you wish.
Adobe Flash and Adobe Flex both come with Actionscript compilers built in. There are also some stand-alone Actionscript compilers. MTASC is a command-line compiler that can compile Actionscript 2.0 class files. SWFTOOLS also has Actionscript compilers similar to MTASC for Actionscript 2.0 and Actionscript 3.0. There are also some third-party Flash development software programs that support Actionscript compiling.
ActionScript 3 is the newer, quicker version of Adobe Flash's ActionScript. AS3, as Action Script 3 is normally called, is harder and more complicated for beginners, but much easier and more effective in the long run.

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.
Adobe Flash uses actionscript. It is the main programming language for flash.
You can add actionscript in different places, for example you can add actionscript to a frame or to an instance of an object. To add actionscript to a frame, select the frame and press F9.
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.......!!
