Learning ActionScript 3.0: A Beginner’s Guide

Learning ActionScript 3.0: A Beginner’s Guide

Adobe Dev Library | 2008-01-04 | ISBN:059652787X | PDF | 382 pages | 14.18 MB

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 how toapproach 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.

About the Author
Sham Bhangal has worked on books in new media for 3 years, in which time he has authored and coauthored numerous friends of ED books, including critically acclaimed, award-winning, and bestselling titles such as Foundation Flash, New Masters of Flash, Flash MX Upgrade Essentials, Flash MX Most Wanted, and Flash MX Designer’s ActionScript Reference,

Bhangal has considerable experience working with Macromedia and Adobe products, as well as other general web design technologies (HTML, CSS, JavaScript, etc.). In addition to speaking appearances at FlashForward (the largest Macromedia Flash developer conference), Bhangal has long been a beta tester for Macromedia and Discreet products. Kristian Besley currently works as a freelance author and Flash/web developer, specializing in interactivity and dynamic-driven content. He has written a number of books on Flash, including Foundation Flash MX, Flash MX Video, and Learn Design with Flash MX. He is also a contributor to Computer Arts magazine. In 2002, his website, www.graphci.com, hosted the first ever worldwide competition on HTML-based TableArt, which Kristian himself describes as “pictures, designs, or creations made with the fantasmagorical technology of tables in HTML.” The entries of last year’s competition are viewable at www.graphci.com/tableart. Kristian can be reached at besley@ntlworld.com. David Powers is an Adobe Community Expert for Dreamweaver and author of a series of highly successful books on PHP, including PHP Solutions: Dynamic Web Design Made Easy (friends of ED, ISBN-13: 978-1-59059-731-6) and Foundation PHP for Dreamweaver 8 (friends of ED, ISBN-13: 978-1-59059-569-5). As a professional writer, he has been involved in electronic media for more than 30 years, first with BBC radio and television and more recently with the Internet. His clear writing style is valued not only in the English-speaking world; several of his books have been translated into Spanish and Polish.

What started as a mild interest in computing was transformed almost overnight into a passion, when David was posted to Japan in 1987 as BBC correspondent in Tokyo. With no corporate IT department just down the hallway, he was forced to learn how to fix everything himself. When not tinkering with the innards of his computer, he was reporting for BBC TV and radio on the rise and collapse of the Japanese bubble economy. Since leaving the BBC to work independently, he has built up an online bilingual database of economic and political analysis for Japanese clients of an international consultancy.

When not pounding the keyboard writing books or dreaming of new ways of using PHP and other programming languages, David enjoys nothing better than visiting his favorite sushi restaurant. He has also translated several plays from Japanese.

ActionScript 3.0 Cookbook

Book Description
Well before Ajax and Microsoft's Windows Presentation Foundation hit the scene, Macromedia offered the first method for building web pages with the responsiveness and functionality of desktop programs with its Flash-based "Rich Internet Applications". Now, new owner Adobe is taking Flash and its powerful capabilities beyond the Web and making it a full-fledged development environment.

Rather than focus on theory, the ActionScript 3.0 Cookbook concentrates on the practical application of ActionScript, with more than 300 solutions you can use to solve a wide range of common coding dilemmas. You'll find recipes that show you how to:

* Detect the user's Flash Player version or their operating system
* Build custom classes
* Format dates and currency types
* Work with strings
* Build user interface components
* Work with audio and video
* Make remote procedure calls using Flash Remoting and web services
* Load, send, and search XML data
* And much, much more ...

Each code recipe presents the Problem, Solution, and Discussion of how you can use it in other ways or personalize it for your own needs, and why it works. You can quickly locate the recipe that most closely matches your situation and get the solution without reading the whole book to understand the underlying code. Solutions progress from short recipes for small problems to more complex scripts for thornier riddles, and the discussions offer a deeper analysis for resolving similar issues in the future, along with possible design choices and ramifications. You'll even learn how to link modular ActionScript pieces together to create rock-solid solutions for Flex 2 and Flash applications.

When you're not sure how ActionScript 3.0 works or how to approach a specific programming dilemma, you can simply pick up the book, flip to the relevant recipe(s), and quickly find the solution you're looking for.

Programming Actionscript 3.0

This manual provides a foundation for developing applications in ActionScript™ 3.0. To best

understand the ideas and techniques described, you should already be familiar with general
programming concepts such as data types, variables, loops, and functions. You should also
understand basic object-oriented programming concepts such as classes and inheritance. Prior
knowledge of ActionScript 1.0 or ActionScript 2.0 is helpful but not necessary.
