Title Description
You can use Flash MX 2004® without being a master programmer, that's why it is so popular throughout the world wide web. However, as any decent Flash developer will tell you, you're not tapping all of the power of Flash MX 2004® unless you're taking advantage of its scripting language "ActionScript 2.0" which offers a more robust programming model and better object-oriented programming support than ever before. VTC Author Michael Hurwicz demonstrates the fundamentals of Flash MX 2004® ActionScripting. This tutorial will give you the solid foundation needed to step-up into more advanced Object Oriented Programming.
