If you're new to ActionScript 3.0, this is the ideal introductory
guide. Flash designers, developers, and programmers alike will find
this book invaluable for navigating ActionScript 3.0's steeper
learning curve. You'll learn the language and how it works through
hands-on exercises that build skills as the book progresses. You
will learn how to: * Harness the power and performance of
ActionScript 3.0 * Manipulate text, work with sound and video, and
draw with code * Animate graphics, create particle systems, and
apply simple physics * Avoid common coding mistakes and reuse code
for improved productivity * Load SWF, image, text, HTML, CSS, and
XML file formats, and more This second edition enhances the text
further with improvements to clarity and understanding, tighter
code examples, and new material. The skills taught, and majority of
code examples, are fully compatible with Flash Professional
versions CS3 through the present. Select new features introduced in
versions CS4 or CS5 round out the content, including: *
Manipulating assets using the basic 3D engine in Flash Player 10 *
Significantly improved text control using the new Text Layout
Framework * Expanded access to the user's microphone at runtime,
and more This acclaimed four-color book features illustrations and
screenshots throughout, but also presents all code examples in
color. Syntax-colored scripts help you quickly identify key
elements of the language and make it easier to compare the printed
code to your own. The companion website is an additional resource
for source files, short quizzes to test your knowledge of key
concepts, and valuable supplemental material. Learning ActionScript
3.0 explains topics using simple examples written in the timeline,
but also introduces object-oriented programming over time so you
can get the most out of your reading. Or, if you prefer, the
companion website includes class-based examples for every chapter,
allowing you to choose if and when you immerse yourself in OOP.
Written by teachers for students, authors Rich Shupe and Zevan
Rosser draw on their vast experience as Flash developers and
instructors to give you a solid ActionScript foundation, without
losing site of creativity.
