ActionScript 3.0 :: Best Way To Learn OO Programming With It?
Jan 11, 2011
I don't seem to find any decent AS3 book for learning Object Oriented Design.
I checked several ones but most assume that you are an intermediate or advanced AS3 developer.One like AS3 Design & Patterns is good but starts simple and get really complicated quickly. Another 2 are Object Oriented AS3 and Advanced AS3 with design patterns is TOO ADVANCED. Now we have OOP books but not for the little guy with limited programming experience like me. What are my alternatives? A friend of mine told me get Head First Java and learn from there it explain Java but especially OOP for beginners. What do you guys think I should do? I feel it is a shame that I need to go to Java to learn OOP because AS3 books are not for beginners.

What do you guys think is the best way to learn Actionscript is? I checked the sticky and the links, they are some good links, but I was wondering what is the best way to go about learning Actionscript. Repetition is probably a factor but should I go from tutorial to tutorial or go up in skill gradually?

What would be an advisable way to learn actionscript 3? Is it best to read up and experiment with the basics first or can you jump in at the deep end and try to do more complicated things with the help of forums? Are you going to learn much that way?

I had a complete interactive application built in ActionScript 2.0, and now need to revise and update it -- which means converting the old code to 3.0. The first scene is a preloader for the entire application that loads and intro animation before launching the application. I went to the help section figuring that once I had some actionScript in the file, I could delete and experiment with the code until I began to understand (I did take a semester long course in Java, but not much has been retained). If you couldn't tell already, I'm a designer and not a programmer.
I copied the ActionScript from the help section, and pasted it into my Flash document. I went to test movie and got the following error message: "1037: Packages cannot be nested" I can't even figure out what that means! I have nothing else in my document.

I'm trying to learn flash to learn times tables, so I want to almost but not quite repeat things. I haven't done programming since punch cards so all the "how to get from Actionscript 2 to 3" is less than helpful.I've got a Game Design book but I"m not finding how to simply copy a chunk of frames to repeat (and then change how it ends to take one answer off).

Would be of amjor benifit to learn the AS3 structure by way of Flex for the next verison of Flash? What I mean is, will Flash 9's AS be AS3 such as it is in Flex... and if so, would it be wise for me to familiarize myself with Flex's way of coding for that very reason?

I am a Java developer. I am good at learning new languages but I can't make head or tail of AS3. It seems like a different mindset that I can't get into or something.Could you provide links a AS3 tutorials that explain everything well, preferable targeted for people who have already programmed?

I am trying to create a class to learn the in's and out's of AS II and i have stumpled into a bit of a problem i cannot resolve. Below is my class, the problem i am running into is on the monitorLoad() method... Take note of the traces, the first one gives me whatever i input into the class and the second one gets lost and traces undefined...so the problem I am running into has to do with where i create the empty movie clip....but i have no idea where i should create it in order to manipulate my loadBar_mov instance i will manually place on my stage...i realize using _root is not that dynamic and i probably should avoid it...but i dunno what else to do.

I have to learn flash player versions on 3 different computers and offcource their browsers

1)create a page which contain a flash can be add text dynamiclly
2)make an element full screen in the web page
I found that I have to learn the actionscript to reach my requirement. However I have NEVER did the flash dev,and after googling I do not have a clear understanding of actionscript.
So I want to know some basic concepts:
1)what's the runtime environment of as?
We know the javascript run within the browser,but how about the as?
2)how about the run mechanism ?
For js,the browser download the xx.js to local,and run it.How about the as?Since I have download an actionscript example: but I do not find any xx.as,and just the xx.swf,and xx.fla,so is the xx.fla equal to the xx.js?
3)Should the actionscript be complied?
For js,answer is no. Everyone can see the source codes of the xx.js,but when I try to open the xx.fla with a text editor,I found it is a binary file.
4)how to get started with actionscript,I mean the dev environment.
For javascript,I need nothing,just learn the js Syntax,then open my favoriate text eidtor, then I can write a xx.js,and run it. But how about the actionscript? Since from google I heard people said the flex sdk is needed,I am not sure about their realationship.Also, Do I have to learn how to create the flash - xx.swf? what's the realationship between the actionscript and the flash file? Any populate tool?

e4x programming extension is native to Actionscript and makes sense to use it over Xpath or any other DOM interfaces. I would like to know from flex community if they had any bad experiences like performance, etc, or any other gotchas.

I haven't programmed in a while, and have kind of lost interest, but I want to get back, and I've enjoyed C# the most, a lot more than objective-c and visual basic. So I want to make some games that me and my friends will be able to play next school year. So basically something you can play on the web.
What programming languages deploy to the web?If c# is possible, and a mac with safari/firefox would be able to use it (I can't install plugins, and I don't want to get in trouble for making myself admin again)Flash, Java, etc. If java does, I'd like that most since it's most like c#. Then what libraries/engines would I use? I want to do 2d. And then what IDE would I use?

what i mean is, is there a way in AS3, or in programming in general(php, js etc) to make an event fire/activate "WHEN" something does something, as oppose to an if/else if / else statements ? for example, say i want to make an event fire /activate ONLY when a frame label is hit, and thereafter , do something else etc, essentially making it do things one by one down the line according to WHEN certain objectives are met.is there a "when" type of statement etc that will do this as oppose to if/else if etc???
for example, using the above example, instead of me doing something like this:

So I am trying to get better at putting all my code within one action layer and there is a bit of button code that seems to be confusing me.
Whenever I program a button I use the following code:
PHP Code:
on (press){
} on (release, releaseOutside ) {
}
Now I know programming the on(press) command is done like this:
PHP Code:
btnName.onPress = function() {
}
However I am having a hard time with the on (release, releaseOutside ) code. The only way I have been able to do it is like this:
PHP Code:
btnName.onRelease = function() {
} btnName.onReleaseOutside= function() {
}
My question is, is there any way to combine the two onRelease commands?

Let me sum up the game the best I can real quick and then get to the problem. I cannot upload any code because I am under contract. I also know the code is working 100% correct. The game I am working on will have "X" number of large images. The "X" images will then be broken down into smaller images. I have around 3,000 images, all in the Flash Library, classes are named correctly, the files are named and sized correctly, etc. The game works perfectly on images 1-66. When I get to image number 67, the game SWF starts flickering from scene 1 to scene 2 and then back to scene 1 for a non-stop loop. No matter what image I use for #67, the swf flickers. My FLA is around 300MB and my SWF is 102MB.
So, does anyone have any ideas on why adding a 67th image would make the SWF freak out? Could it be some type of file size issue, graphics card issue, virus, etc? I've tried it on multiple computers both PC and MAC.
