HYPE Framework for Flash
As you all know, Flash with ActionScript 3.0 is very powerful in creating Flash applications. But its a bit tough for newcomers to get used to it so fast in case of coding and creating something very exciting.
To make things simple for Flash beginners, HYPE Framework is introduced.
"HYPE is a creative coding framework built on top of ActionScript 3. A major goal of HYPE is to allow newcomers to Flash and ActionScript to creatively play and express themselves while they are learning how to program."
Inorder to start with it, you just need to know basic programming concepts like loops, variables, conditional and functions etc.
Here is just a quick demo of HYPE:
