Should I learn ActionScript 3.0? What is it needed for?

** The short questions **

Do I need ActionScript to use with Animate and make interactive animations for my website? 

When / Why would learning ActionScript would be useful? 

Are there any video classes for ActionScript?

AS3 is the scripting language for SWFs. SWFs require Flash Player if you want to run them on a website. Flash Player was forcibly banished from every web browser on the planet a year or two ago. So no, AS3 is not needed or even an option for interactivity on the web anymore.

Stick to javascript.
