The essential guide for wannabe OOPs moving from AS1 to AS2. 22 Oct 2004

By Mr. G. Coffey

Format:Paperback

If you, like me, got very good at designing prototypes and objects for Flash MX and want to know how to migrate to AS 2.0, or if you simply want to learn how to build proper object oriented classes, then this is an extremely well written book which has an in-depth explanation of all that you need.
It is not a beginners' guide, but for those who already understand ActionScript, it is the way to go.

Write real applications with Actionscript 23 Jan 2005

By Raff

Format:Paperback

Actionscript 2 has effectively promoted AS1 to be a 'real' programming language for big, complex Flash applications that would be difficult to do with AS1. This book covers all you need to create robust AS2 OOP classes and full applications in a style that Java & C++ programmers will be familiar with. Moock's writing style is just so good at explaining fiddly subjects in pleasant bite-sized chunks. The examples are excellent, taking you step by step through the creation and structure of full AS2 applications. The coverage of how to use and create your own flash components is also excellent. An essential purchase for the serious Flash developer and a perfect partner to 'Actionscript: The Definitive Guide'

OOP and Actionscript 2.0 30 Oct 2005

By Ashraf Mostafa

Format:Paperback

First of all, Colin makes this book an extension for his exploration of Flash Programming after his book ActionScript for Flash MX The Definitive Guide, which explain the ActionScript Fundamentals but Essential ActionScript 2.0 focuses almost exclusively on the Object-Oriented Programming aspects (in) ActionScript.

The book is divided to three main sections:-

1. Part I: The ActionsScript 2.0 language: discusses the theory of OOP in general, and itsimplementation in Action Script in particular. Colin really is great in clarifying the concepts in a simple manner with examples.

2. Part II: Application Development: discusses the concepts for the practical application, which is covered in the first section with examples describe the process of designing and deploying and object-oriented application.

3. Part II: Design Pattern Examples: Colin means by that how to apply OOP strategies to a many approaches to various programming situations in Macromedia Flash.

· New to OOP Programmers will learn the basics and how to apply it.
· Familiar with OOP Programmers will gain experience with Flash-based OOP.
· Experienced Flash developers and programmers coming from other languages will enjoy the deep coverage and expertise in Essential ActionScript 2.0.

Finally and in sum, this book reviews the Object-Oriented definite structures in ActionScript 2.0 realistically to get benefit from applying these concepts through the abstract theory and the practical tips.

It is very good

Well this book is very good and easy to read. It has all that one needs to code in ActionScript. The question one will ask is why Action script 2.0 when we have ActionScript 3.0. Read more
