Summary

This book is the 2nd edition of Keith Peters' best- selling ActionScript animation book, updated to ActionScript 3.0-all of the code has been updated, and some new techniques have been added to take advantage of ActionScript 3.0's new features, including the display list and new event architecture. The code can be used with the Flash IDE, Flex Builder 2, or the free Flex 2 SDK. This book will teach you how to use Flash ActionScript to move the objects in your movie, rather than letting Flash's tween engine do it for you. The benefit of this is smaller, more realistic, more dynamic, interactive movies that almost literally seem to come alive on your screen.
