First time I worked with AS or Flash in general was March 2012, though I've got a bunch of years of general programming experience.
I don't see an issue in using libraries (depending on what you want to create and achieve). I never used many, though, but I also never made anything huge. Well I wouldn't recommend it for making simple things like dress-ups, but they may save you a lot of time and trouble when going for something bigger. Though I personally tend to code game mechanics from scratch for the experience it brings. It really depends on what your focus is!
