You might find this a useful starting point http://wiki.processing.org/w/ActionScript_Comparison

Fixed the title... Moved from Using Processing, too.

"was through actionscript"
It is like saying learning Basic to learn Java is a good way... Yes, it allows to know the base principles of programmings, which will be useful whatever (almost) the language you will learn later. But you will need then to unlearn some things, to learn other things, etc.
