In this book, authors Rich Shupe and Zevan Rosser share the knowledge they've gained from their years as multimedia
developers/designers and teachers.
Learning ActionScript 3.0 gives you a solid foundation in the language of Flash and demonstrates how you can use it
for practical, everyday projects. 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 clear look into essential topics such as logic, event handling, displaying content, migrating legacy projects to
ActionScript 3.0, classes, and much more.
You will learn important techniques through hands-on 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 and
more OOP techniques, allowing you to choose which scripting approach you prefer.
Learning ActionScript 3.0 reveals: New ways to harness the power
and 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 and object-oriented techniques Tips that go beyond simple script collections, including how toapproach a
project and which resources can help you along the way The companion web site contains material for all the exercises in the book, as well as short quizzes to make sure
you're up to speed with key concepts.
ActionScript 3.0 is a different animal from previous versions, and Learning ActionScript 3.0 teaches everything
that web designers, GUI-based Flash developers, and those new to ActionScript need to start using the language. |
