Normally I don't recommend going to any school for education in web development or programming, but if you're already in you might as well learn something useful.
Right now I know PHP and I (sort of) know ActionScript. I don't really know anything about .net or ruby on rails, but I'll bet Mr Google can give you lots of information on those subjects. Personally, I recommend PHP over all of these languages you have listed. It's simple, fairly easy to learn, and it's so powerful that most major sites and CMS's are made using it. I frankly can't imagine life without it.
And then there's actionscript. As (I assume) you know, actionscript is the programing language for Adobe Flash. I sometimes annoys me when people classify actionscript as a "language to learn". That is exactly what it is, though it's inside of Flash. It's not an independent language. It relies on Flash to be executed. Now that I've clarified what it is, we can move on. In general, actionscript is a very useful language and can accomplish many varied and different goals. But there's a reason you don't see it very often in large sites - it is rather primitive in the area of external communication. That one little obstacle can be overpassed, by simply communicating with another language: PHP. Which vastly widens up opportunities, and which is why I recommend you to try to learn both PHP and actionscript.
And one final note - There are three versions of actionscript to learn. Learn Actionscript 3.0. It's more powerful, more up-to-date, and it's faster. I'm still stuck on 2.0 because I haven't had the time to learn the new version.
Hope this all helps.
- Steve
