ActionScript is the programming language behind Flash,
Macromedia's web technology that is popular for
use on interactive and multimedia websites. This book
helps the programmer learn Flash concepts and contains 21 lessons
that help readers build their skills progressively as they advance
through the book. The book also includes 40 functional projects,
including games, applications and Flash websites, to help the
programmer develop their ActionScript skill. The book helps readers
learn Flash concepts like how to create custom classes of objects, design a
user-interface menu, validate and transfer data, printing Flash content and
work with movie and sound clips. The accompanying CD includes the files,
graphics and code needed to complete each lesson and project. Some prior
programming experience is helpful, especially experience with JavaScript
or Java. Developers new to either Flash programming or new to the latest
version of ActionScript 2.0, will find plenty of practical instruction,
sample code and tips in this comprehensive reference.
