by Brendan Dawes (Author)
A visual approach to explaining and exploring the power of ActionScript for those who design with it. Organized according to differing creative areas, each basic type of project is deconstructed, with components broken down and ActionScript code explained; variations are then suggested. Four-color, with lots of visuals and annotated code. 250,000+ copies of the Flash development software or the downloadable demo of the software are in distribution. We're learning that Flash is such an elegant tool, and ActionScripting such a relatively easy-and extremely powerful-extension of that tool, that almost everyone who develops with Flash quickly gravitates toward using ActionScripting to enhance their Flash development skills. This book targets intermediate to advanced users of Flash. Working Web design professionals and serious students will be interested in this book.
