Dunno, I never used flash but Haxe is pretty easy to follow. Try the newer OpenFL examples... It helps to learn using OpenFL since it sets up a project that compiles for you, then you can mess around with the syntax and language features. I also highly recommend using the 'Vaxe' VIM plugin with YouCompleteMe as well - it will recognize your OpenFL project, and give you context aware auto-complete, easy compilation of projects, etc..., making things much easier. While Haxe without any framework can be confusing at first, it's really not that bad...
