Take your Flash movies to the next level with ActionScript. This powerful programming language can be used to create your own applications, games and interactive web content.

Even if you’ve never done any programming before, this is the book for you. It guides you through the fundamentals of programming in easy steps, from the basic terminology and building blocks through to a taste of advanced object oriented programming. Exercises are included to reinforce and extend your learning.
The only prerequisite is a reasonable working knowledge of Flash which can be gained from Natcoll Publishing’s Introduction to Flash guide.

There are two versions of this book:

v3.0 for Adobe Flash CS3 (or newer)

v1.0-2.0 for Macromedia Flash 8 (or earlier)*

* Files needed for the exercises in the v1.0-2.0 guide may be freely downloaded from the web or purchased on CD. Exercises in version 3.0 do not require CD files, however, examples of completed exercises are available for free download.
