ActionScript 3.0 for new programmers
Having the power and sophistication of ActionScript 3.0 within Flash is wonderful,
but with these capabilities comes more complexity and a steeper learning curve.
Many designers and animators who use Flash regularly are daunted by the prospect
of learning ActionScript 3.0, and the majority of books on the subject are written
for those with programming experience. The truth is that with a little patience at
the beginning, you can quickly learn enough ActionScript to be able to add lots of
interactive features to your Flash work.
