We know there are some vital Flash components missing from Flash CS3, but there are some good third party v3 components out there that help make up for Adobe’s lack of intuition.
In ActionScript 3.0, the frame event model has been changed from the ActionScript 2.0 version quite a bit. In ActionScript 2.0, if you wanted to perform a task every time you entered a frame, you would type
onEnterFrame = function(){
trace("Do Something");
}
In ActionScript 3.0, you must use an event listener format to perform a frame event. For example…
addEventListener(Event.ENTER_FRAME,myFunction);
function myFunction(event:Event) {
trace("Do Something");
}
It’s a little more complicated than the old way, but ActionScript 3.0 opens up a whole new world of programming possibilities.
Adobe Flash CS3 Professional includes many great new features, including the ActionScript 3.0 programming language and the ActionScript 3.0 FLA file format. This article is a summary of notes and reflections as the author migrated to using ActionScript 3.0. The article also provides solutions that address these topics:
