    Description:  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 to approach 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.
