This is the only complete, up-to-date reference available for the latest version of ActionScript, Macromedia's programming language for Flash. The book's language reference alone has nearly doubled from the first edition, with over 250 new classes, objects, methods, and properties! Hundreds of new code examples show new Flash MX techniques in the real world-how to draw circles, save data to disk, convert arrays to onscreen tables, create reusable components, and preload variables, XML and sounds. Dozens of undocumented, under-documented, and mis- documented features are covered exhaustively. Along with the new material, author Colin Moock has meticulously revised the entire text to conform to Flash MX best- coding practices. ActionScript for Flash MX: The Definitive Guide thoroughly demystifies the often- confusing new features of Flash MX, giving developers easy access to its powerful new capabilities.
