Description: The authors do more than just give you a collection of sample scripts. Written for those of The authors do more than just give you a collection of sample scripts. Written for those of you new to ActionScript 3.0, the book describes how ActionScript and Flash work, giving you a look into topics such as logic, event handling, displaying content, migrating legacy projects to ActionScript 3.0, classes, & more. You will learn techniques through exercises, and then build on those skills as chapters progress.
ActionScript 3.0 represents a significant change for many Flash users, and a steeper learning curve for the uninitiated. This book will help guide you through a variety of scripting scenarios. Rather than relying heavily on prior knowledge of object-oriented programming (OOP), topics are explained in focused examples that originate in the timeline, with optional companion classes for those already comfortable with their use. As chapters progress, the book introduces more & more OOP techniques, allowing you to choose which scripting approach you prefer.
Learning ActionScript 3.0 reveals:
- New ways to harness the power & performance of AS3;
- Common mistakes that people make with the language;
- Essential coverage of text, sound, video, XML, drawing with code, and more;
- Migration issues from AS1 and AS2 to AS3;
- Simultaneous development of procedural & object-oriented techniques;
- Tips that go beyond simple script collections, including how to approach a project and which resources can help you along the way....
