ActionScripting in Flash
Offers intermediate Flash 5 users the ways to recognize when scripting is needed and ways to use scripting to make their hard-wired Web sites more dynamic and accessible. Progresses from basic information to more complex applications such as functions, arrays, Smart Clips, and interfacing with external data. The first section, which can be read without running Flash, covers the basics of programming (scripting) in Flash (and, to some degree, programming in general). The second includes tutorials built around many commonly needed tasks (e.g., creating a horizontal slider and creating JavaScript cookies). This book definitely does not shy away from advanced topics, but it isn't an exhaustive reference to every detail in the ActionScript language either. That's not what this book is about. It's about giving you the skills so that you can apply any idea you have to Flash. Phillip Kerman is an independent programmer and teacher specializing in Flash.
