ActionScript 3 Cookbook helps developers work with the language right away. Rather than focus on ActionScript in the abstract, the book puts theory into practice with ready- made answers to common problems. Readers will find more than 300 worked-out scripts they can use to solve a wide range of coding dilemmas, while learning practical techniques for resolving similar issues in the future. Each recipe includes a discussion that explains how it works and why. The Cookbook progresses from short recipes for small problems to longer, more complex scripts for thornier riddles. Developers can even learn to link modular ActionScript pieces together to create rock-solid solutions for Flash applications. This is the first ActionScript 3 title for developers that will include Learning ActionScript 3, ActionScript 3: The Definitive Guide, and Essential ActionScript 3. All four books will feature cross references as appropriate, so users can easily find more extensive discussions of tangential topics.
