I don't have any knowledge as far as the history of the development of Actionscript but from my general experience I would say it's pretty much a combination of C++ (also making it like java) and visual basic.  Obviously object oriented but as someone said, I'm not sure if you there is much use for it outside of flash and it also seems that most of the functions are flash specific function calls utilizing a prewritten library of functions.  I would be interested to learn more about the development.  I think actionscript may carry over somewhat into Fireworks and the macromedia suite but I'm not sure if it's even identical within their own suite.
None-the-less it's pretty simple to use and understand as long as you have some basic object oriented experience and a bit of C helps as well.

Well, i guess you are right.
Nobody seems to know where and how actionscript came about.
Mystery!

using actionscript is like using command prompt in windows. it mean that action script can do much more than those "click and drop" stuff can do.

actionscript can be used also at swishmax. what is swishmax?
-a flash creator program which is much further simpler than macromedia flash. very useful and easy to understand.

FYI - I recently was reading a graphic design book covering multiple graphic design programs, and I found a short few pages on flash and actionscript. The book states that actionscript was developed from javascript. Why they didn't just incorporate java I don't know but that is what the book said. How reliable is this info? Who knows - I didn't check the bibliography or anything so the credibility is questionable but it seems similar enough to javascript to validate the claim.

22. Looping A Flash Animation Certain Times? - also sound syncing. (0)

    loop for exactly 20.02 seconds, and then I want to move from that animation and background music,
    into another animation and background sound. I'm sort of at a loss as to how to do this. Is
    there some way I can count the amount of time that a flash file has been loaded, and then have it

    faster than the flash and the content is a little lagged/slow playing before it kicks in and
    sync's up. Could anyone provide some insight as to how I would load the content and sound
    together, so that it does not lag? P.S. I've already tried putting the sound in the first frame
    of the flash, but it does not seem to help. Thanks in advance! /smile.gif' border='0' ...

    little more about what this product was. Anyway, judging by what they say on the site, it looks
    like a flash creation tool, designed more for graphic designers who want to use flash but who
    aren't worried about all the behind the scenes stuff. One feature, which grabbed my attention,
    is being able to import your .PSD (photoshop) files into the program and keep each ...

26. Importing Wmv Into Flash 5 - (3)

    and import it into flash. However, whenever I attempt to import WMV that I've converted into
    MPGs into Ulead, I always get an error and Ulead shuts itself down. This ONLY happens with MPGs that
    were once WMVs. Does anyone know how I can fix this, or know of a better way to convert a...

29. Winsor Mccay - A Pioneer in Animation (0)

    Hello folks. I just thought I would share one of my favorite cartoonists that you may not have heard
    of before. He is Winsor McCay, who was most famous for his Sunday Paper cartoon "Little Nemo In
    Slumberland" back between 1905 up through 1915. Just recently, I've been looking more into some
    of the things he did in his life and I bought a dvd with early animation shorts he did, some of
    which are amazing even to today's standards. Winsor McCay, to put it simply, did it "the hard
    way." Hand drawing hundreds and sometimes thousands of individual pictures to make h...
