I first learned some basic HTML about 10-12 years ago. I was about 12 years old and made a website using a website builder tool at geocities, after i finished putting in content, i wanted to change some small things but couldnt do so using the web site builder tool because it really didnt have many options. So i just opened up the pages in notepad and messed with stuff untill i knew some basic stuff. I think i originally wanted to change some colors, so I learned the #RRGGBB first, then i learned <img> tags and then <a> tags, <br>, <hr>, <b>, and a couple other things. I did learn some things from some random tutorials on html, and am now a big fan of w3schools when i need to jog my memory on anything.

I started learning actionscript about 8 months ago, When i started my current job. I learned it all on the fly using the actionscript dictionary as a reference, and still learn new things on a regular basis. I have taken a few programming classes, c++, pascal, javascript, just to name a few. So i had a decent programming background. I would say actionscript was super easy to pick up on.
