ActionScript 3.0 & Flash 9

11 09 2007

After it being out for many, many months for Flash, I finally decided to start learning some ActionScript 3.0 and convert. The reason I haven’t done so before now I didn’t think it would catch on because of the complexity of it in comparison to AS2.0, but I was wrong on many levels. I also thought it would be difficult to change over with the number of changes involved, but it has actually been a whole lot easier then I thought it would be. I am enjoying working in it so far with a little bump in the road here and there while having to unlearn a few AS2.0 methods.
