Starling Framework and Procedural Coding

Hello all !

Can someone please tell me whether in order to use the Starling Framework we have to know OOP or can we work with

procedural coding. I am a newbie to as3 and i find OOP very confusing, though i have made an App and a Game with

procedural coding in as3. Also, can someone please tell me some good resources (really easy to understand) for learning

OOP, or to just get a start....please dont give reference to books, videos that starts off with very simple explanations, but

within a couple of pages, or minutes , gets really complicated and messy....

Any help is really appreciated

thanks in advance

with best regards
