Very good presentation. Probably not for people completely new to programming, but then again I don't think Javascript is the ideal language for people that are new to programming anyway.

I'm a new Java coder and I find this interesting However, I got lost after the first 5 min. That's because I'm NEW. I still give this video/ audio a thumbs up! I might not fully understand at this time but, I will soon! Great YouTube upload! Thanks!

ActionScript 3 is, not the first one. The first one feels a bit like JavaScript.

JavaScript is NOT Java. It is completely different and has no relations to Java. JavaScript was called Java as a joke/marketing purposes.

Sometimes there's such a thing as too much jargon. Function objects -> The language isn't object oriented so they use functions as objects and all them function objects. Hang behavior off -> "smart" way to say it can "tell" stuff how to do stuff. You don't have it tell stuff what to do by extending public api -> you don't add everything it could possibly do to a resource for portraying what it can do. There's too much. Scope is like blinders for a horse for the program/components.
