For basic animation and graphics that's true but not for creating anything interactive. ActionScript was based on ECMAScript / JavaScript and was very similar. If you knew JS you could easily write AS and vice versa.
If you mean it didn't have the complexity of today's JS-based apps that may be true but that's a choice, not a technical limitation.
