Chapter 1, “Using Flash and ActionScript 3.0,” introduces ActionScript 3.0 and some basic concepts such as game
programming strategies and a checklist to help you develop games in Flash CS3.
Chapter 2, “ActionScript Game Elements,” presents a series of short
code snippets and functions, such as creating text fields, drawing shapes, and playing sounds. This is a useful and practical library of code that we’ll be using throughout the
book.
Chapters 3 through 12 each contain one or more complete games. The text of the chapter walks you through the game code, enabling you to build
it yourself if you want. Or, you could use the source file and walk through the code.
Chapter 3, “Basic Game Framework: A Matching Game,” is a little
different from the rest of the book. Instead of examining game code for a finished game, it builds a game in ten steps, producing a different Flash movie and source code file
with each step. It is a great way to learn how to build Flash games.
Chapter 4, Brain Games: Memory and Deduction
This chapter starts with
an “Arrays and Data Objects” section. But, the content of this book doesn’t stop with the pages in your hands. There is more to be found online.

however, we need to take a closer look at how ActionScript handles strings and text fields.

Games
Chapter 11,Questions and Answers: Trivia and Quiz Games

character that can move left and right and can jump.

top-down driving game and a straightforward racing game. Both types of games have some things in common.
