Release Notes

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
howtoapproach 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.
