ActionScript 3.0 for Adobe Flash Professional CS5 Classroom in a Book at Dominant Systems Book Store

This project-based guide from Adobe will teach readers all they need to know to create engaging interactive content with ActionScript 3.0 for Flash Professional CS5. Using step-by-step instructions with projects that build on the knowledge acquired in each lesson, readers will learn the fundamentals of adding interactivity to Flash files using ActionScript, starting with using prewritten Code Snippets, but progressing to customizing and writing their own ActionScript code.

The tutorials start with simple navigation and timeline control and progress through controlling animation with ActionScript; using Event Listeners and writing event-handling functions; and controlling loading of and interaction with data, text, video, sound, and images. Readers will also learn to use third-party libraries and create Adobe Air applications. This Classroom in a Book also covers the improved text-handling tools that are new to Flash Professional CS5. The companion CD provides users with all the sample files they need to complete all the projects.

Customer Reviews & Comments
I am not finished with this book yet but only a couple chapters in, it is really making this language make sense to me. Coupled with CS5 snippets, I am finally getting this language. The step by step, line by line coding, giving explanation while you write it, really helps me to retain the knowledge.. The setup before, and review and quiz at the end of each lesson also helped to stamp the knowledge into my brain. I have several AS3 books, and all I can say is, this is the book that is actually "sticking". So far, anyway. When I finish it I will try to update this review. But so far it is great!
