Yup, in addition to Air, as Darkroot mentioned, you can also use the Flex SDK. I prefer it to Flash. I just write my code in a text editor and compile it with the SDK's compiler. It can be a bit tricky to use if you're used to coding on the timeline or if you want to work with animations that aren't sprite sheets. You can also use FlashDevelop. I haven't ever really used it but I've heard from quite a few people that it's their Actionscript IDE of choice. I agree with Darkroot on Python. It's dead simple and really quite fun. I'd highly recommend "Learn Python the Hard Way" by Zed A. Shaw. It's a book that you can read online for free, or you can buy a copy in print and/or pdf. He also offers a Python class (I think on Udemy). The Python tutorial on python.org is really good as well.

If you want to start with other languages you might as well, but i have never found such a well-written and suitable-for-beginners guide about any other language. and once you know one (expecially one of the most complex and famous, Java or C++ to name two, but any other Object Oriented language is fine I think), you know them all.
