Getting to know Actionscript 3.0

Not sure if I’m late to the party or what, but I’m just getting into Actionscript 3.0. I have to say that there aren’t that many sites out there to help us AS2 loyals. Here is my attempt to help out any newbies like myself.

One of the big things I noticed was that you no longer have actions assigned to buttons or movie clips. Everything is in one place. This is cool ’cause you don’t have to go poking around everywhere to find out where the code is, but it’s different since now everything has to reference something else. This referencing is not always simple as far as I’m concerned, and the errors that you get aren’t always helpful.

I’ll provide some samples in future posts, but for now, here is a link to the Actionscript 2.0 migration document.
