ActionScript for Flash MX: The Definitive Guide, Second Edition

FROM THE PUBLISHER

Macromedia Flash MX is the de facto standard for delivering web-based multimedia to over 500 million users worldwide. ActionScript for Flash MX: The Definitive Guide is dedicated entirely to ActionScript, Flash MX's object-oriented programming language. This book is for web developers using Flash for true application development, not just eye candy. The book targets Flash and ActionScript developers of all levels, plus JavaScript programmers migrating their skills to ActionScript. Updated to cover Flash MX, this second edition is the one book no serious Flash developer should be without. It covers new features in Flash MX ActionScript, such as the Drawing API, loading of external MP3 and JPEG files, improved sound control, text formatting, component development using movie clip subclasses, local data storage, accessibility features, and much more. ActionScript for Flash MX: The Definitive Guide is the most complete, up-to-date reference available, with over 400 new pages added since the best-selling first edition. The book's Language Reference has nearly doubled in size, with more than 250 new classes, objects, methods, and properties. You'll find exhaustive coverage of dozens of undocumented, under-documented, and misdocumented features.
