i'm a noob, what can i say...is there a place i can get to for some basic commands and technics of AS?

so far, i've been working mostly with a few prebased scripts (ie hitTests and animating on mouseovers) but really i have no idea what i'm actually writing. i'm just copying and pasting. and worse, i see the threads here and scratch my head. i'm eager to learn...so, a brief overview, or maybe a site that would do it, anybody?

You might try using the actionscript dictionary from the help menu in flash. Go through and search for the commands you use in your tutorials, it should give you a definition and examples of how they work. It will also link you to related commands.
