If you are using Macromedia Flash for a while then you probably have heard of ActionScript. It is a scripting language for Flash animations that is similar to JavaScript and is used primarily for the development of websites and software targeting the Adobe Flash Player platform, used on Web pages in the form of embedded SWF files.
When Macromedia Flash Player 9 released in 2006, it introduced the new scripting language developed by experienced trainers, ActionScript, which has already taken hold in the Adobe Flex application development community. From a developers perspective, the ActionScript make applications more natural to plan and conceptualize, more stable, more reusable across projects, easier to maintain, change, and expand upon whilst enhancing the entire development process
In its latest release, Flash incorporates new and much improved upon language, including a visual interface, into its development environment, while offering a project-based guide to give Flash authors more flexibility than ever before.
Authors Derek Franklin and Jobe Makar with Danny Patterson, Member of Team Macromedia Flash, use easy to use hands-on lessons and simple step-by-step instructions to translate real-life activities into scripts, in the process demonstrating that scripting is something you already instinctively know how to do. The authors have provided methodologies and techniques for building nearly forty real-life Flash ActionScript projects, including sample games, wireless applications, Web sites, and much more, all of which will help you work faster and more efficiently.
The Macromedia Flash 8 ActionScript CD contains all project files and images you will need to complete the lessons.
