Though I am much more able in AS2, if you want to make the best flash games, you NEED to learn Actionscript 3.0 it may seem greek at first but you'll be programming great games in a couple months, just make sure you have others test your games before releasing it, as the pros here can give you very generous advice, I could help test but as far as scripting goes you should ask people like John and people like that (after gaining there permission)
