Same here. Flash helped me understand OOP. I would have never become a programmer without Flash the IDE. It is very sad what Adobe did with Flash (and Fireworks, and Dreamweaver...), especially in the wake of WASM where they could have ported most of the platform. I guess there was no financial incentives to do that.
