Good flash actionscipt programming source?

Asked by Perchik (5002

I'm attempting to learn flash Actionscript. I have an idea that I want to do in flash, but I do not possess the scripting capabilities that I need. I can do the coding in C++ or Java, but I don't know how to do it in actionscript. Does anyone know a good website that could help me learn actionscript?

Well if you know C++ and Java then you’ll likely be able to grasp Actionscript 3 quite readily. Its fully object oriented and its syntax is ECMAScript which is quite straightforward. The best resource would likely be the AS3 API documentation which goes into some detail about the fundamentals of Flash in regards to Actionscript. I would suggest familiarizing yourself with the workings of everything in the flash.display.* namespace – most importantly the Sprite class as it is a basic graphical building block that I use often.
