Actually Scratch does help if you use stencyl

Welcome to Scratch! I hope you have a great time here. But, I've got to tell you some things-First, using Scratch won't help you in Flash, as Scratch doesn't use code. Second, I'd recommend using Java before Flash, personally.
Well, try not to get too addicted to the forums, it usually makes people not program as much.

Unfortunately, you're wrong, Scratch will help with flash as it teaches many basic principles of programming that it is hard to learn in other ways. Flash and java are used for different purposes and I would say they are both good at doing different things.

Well, yeah, that yeah. But, it doesn't help with actually programming, as it includes no code 
And Java may be for different things, but all in all, you can basically do the same. The difference is that
1) Java goes slower
2) Java uses more RAM
3) Java's easier
4) You can upload Flash to kongregate, armor games, etc., while with Java you can't. Flash is better, but I'd recommend Java first because it's easier, and then it'd be easier to learn flash, as adapting from Java to Flash isn't that hard.
You just need to System.out.println

I'd rather go along with Flash. I realize that Scratch wont help me with Flash, but I just want to try out this language and make a few games as sort of a warm up for bigger things I'll be doing in the future. 

You also could transition from Scratch to Stencyl to Flash.

That too.

Thanks!

(sorry I had to take out the Stencyl link because new Scratchers can't post them  )

Hi! Welcome to scratch! Hope you have a good time here! I just started a couple weeks ago!
