ActionScript is the programming language integral to the Adobe Technology Platform.
It began as a simple scripting language for creating interactivity and animation
in Flash, but is now used to create full-featured Web applications, not only
in Flash but in Flex. ActionScript 3, introduced with Flex 2, is now a full-fledged
object-oriented programming language, and the need for teaching materials, for
both newcomers and veterans, is great. This task-based tutorial is for students
with no programming experience as well as those programmers who have learned
earlier versions of the programming language and now need to learn the new version.
The book walks a reader through all the fundamentals, then moves on to creating
interactivity, working with data, looping and decision making, programming visualizations,
and working with multimedia. It's a complete end-to-end tutorial.
