Actionscript Sandboxes and Resources

NEWGROUNDS
Newgrounds was how it all started for me. They have an excellent forum and platform for sharing your flash animations and games, your games will receive reviews and ratings from other users/players. The forum is seperated into different sections like animation, scripting, art, audio; there are tutorials and free resources there!

FLASHKIT AND OTHER EXCELLENT FORUMS
Flashkit, actionscript.org, kirupa, and flashdevelop are great forums with quick responses for asking and sharing scripting solutions. These have been very very helpful to me and I use these for assistance, even till today. There are some really good and dedicated people on these forums. Visiting these forums can help improve your scripting abilities as you try to solve other people's code problems too! I think of it as "solving puzzles", almost like a logic game.
