Description:

ActionScript 3 has completely changed the Flash development landscape. The performance is outstanding -- you can now write Flash movies that run up to 30 times faster than in Flash 8 -- but there's a lot to learn. This course focuses on teaching practical ActionScript -- how you can start using the new tools in AS3 to get things done!
We covering the fundamental changes in ActionScript 3, so you can learn the core changes and how to execute all basic functionality (such as loading external music or video files, keep using your FlashVars, and parse through huge XML files) and start getting a handle on some of the new terms and concepts that are available.
This is an amazingly effective way to get started in the brand new world of Flash power. Students will receive a copy of all prepared notes, as well as dozens of sample source files.
