Do you have Flash CS3 or CS4? If not you can get the free compiler (mxmlc) in the flex sdk.

If you do the Help has a very useful component and language reference for ActionScript 3.0 (with examples) and programming guide. Also in my source. First things to look up are Sprite, Stage and MouseEvent.

Also the Flash 10 player has very cool new 3D and p2p capabilities.
