Depends on your already existing programming skills, if are a experienced programmer it will be easy peasy, else it might take a while longer

If you already know ActionScript it should not be to hard to grasp JScript.

Also, i would suggest downloading a few scripts that look quite small and have a look at the code and try to learn things.

JScript is also mostly similar to Javascript....

Another recommendation is to look at some of the smaller scripts that are floating around to have a look at what is done. This gives you working examples of how scripts should be written and gives you some ideas to use in your scripts.
Another good thing is to pay attention to CookieRevised's posts regarding scripting as he gives some very helpful hints in details that many people seem to overlook when writing their scripts.
It is also advised that you have a very good try at doing the scripts yourself first and if you really need help with doing something and there is no way for you to work it out then to contact a fellow scripter or post on the forums or something and hope that someone helps you out (please don't be upset if noone does straight away as many people are busy with their own work).
