Описание: Flash MX ActionScript For Designers will show you how to harness the power of ActionScript. If you’ve wanted to come up to speed with ActionScript but the sheer volume of available actions caused you to stick with the tried-and-true Flash animation methods, you’ll find the answers to many of your questions in this book. I show you how to use the basic actions to control the flow of your design. Even though ActionScript can be daunting, the basics of ActionScript’s Object Oriented Programming are presented in easy-to-understand layman’s terms. The primary focus of this book is to show you how to use ActionScript to add excitement and diversity to your designs. If you’ve wanted to take the next step and push the envelope with ActionScript, you have the right book in your hands. Throughout this book you’ll find concise examples of ActionScript at work— examples that you can put to use in your daily work. In addition, many chapters feature a project that shows you how to use the material to create a finished object with ActionScript.
