eBOOK Description

ActionScript 3.0 is a huge upgrade to Flash's programming language. The enhancements to ActionScript's performance, feature set, ease of use, cleanliness, and sophistication are considerable. Essential ActionScript 3.0 focuses on the core language and object-oriented programming, along with the Flash Player API. Essential ActionScript has become the #1 resource for the Flash and ActionScript development community, and the reason is the author, Colin Moock. Many people even refer to it simply as "The Colin Moock book."

And for good reason: No one is better at turning ActionScript inside out, learning its nuances and capabilities, and then explaining everything in such an accessible way. Colin Moock is not just a talented programmer and technologist; he's also a gifted teacher.

Essential ActionScript 3.0 is a radically overhauled update to Essential ActionScript 2.0. True to its roots, the book once again focuses on the core language and object-oriented programming, but also adds a deep look at the centerpiece of Flash Player's new API: display programming. Enjoy hundreds of brand new pages covering exciting new language features, such as the DOM-based event architecture, E4X, and namespaces--all brimming with real-world sample code.

The ActionScript 3.0 revolution is here, and Essential ActionScript 3.0's steady hand is waiting to guide you through it.

eBOOK Description

The aims of this free ebook are to build on your current skill level and to give you the skills you need to create great content for mobile devices. At first, mobile Flash development might seem like a no brainer; you may have heard that you can just throw your Flash at the phone, and it just works—that’s only half true. Creating content for devices carries with it a world of new limitations and possibilities, and it may require you to change how you think about users. On top of that, you are given new functionality to play with that can enrich the experience and give users what they really need, wherever they may be at the time.

The chapters in this free ebook will cover how to build and run your first Flash Lite applications, how to structure and optimize them as well as how to employ user interface controls when you haveno mouse to rely on, consume web services, and control Apple’s iTunes. You’ll also see how to program games full of not only graphics and sounds, but math and physics to boot. There’s more to Flash than games and applications; you’ll also discover mobile-specific genres of wallpapers, screensavers, and animated ring tones. The final chapters discuss how to go about getting your content out there in the real world, how to make money from it, and of course, some important predictions for the future.
