 * Provides in-depth information to the more than one million Flash
developers who want to take their animations to the next level using
sophisticated interaction and data-driven content
* Flash ActionScript is an object-oriented scripting language used with
Flash that allows the designer to control a movie in non-linear
fashion, create sophisticated interactivity, control elements on the
stage, collect and track input from the movie viewer, and exchange and
manipulate data from external sources
* The most comprehensive Flash ActionScript guide available, cowritten
by Robert Reinhardt, coauthor of Flash "X" Bible (0-7645-4303-2)

Sure, you can use Flash MX 2004 without being a master programmer, but
as any Flash developer worth his or her salt will tell you, you're not
tapping all of its power 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. Here to take the fear factor out of learning it are Flash
veterans and best-selling authors Derek Franklin and Jobe Makar,
who demonstrate that scripting is an instinctual process you already
know by translating real-life activities into ActionScript scripts. In
these pages, you'll find methodologies and techniques for building over
40 real-life Flash ActionScript projects, including sample games, ---
applications, Web sites, and more. New in this edition are coverage of
ActionScript 2.0, Web services, Components, Printing, Video, and more.
On the companion CD, you'll find all the project files and images you
need to complete each project. Are you ready to jump into the world of game development? "Game Development with ActionScript" is the guide that can show you the way! You?ll cover the basics of programming with ActionScript and will explore the incredible development possibilities offered by Macromedia Flash MX 2004. You'll develop the animation techniques you need to keep players coming back for more. Transform your game as you learn how ActionScript can be used to create amazing sound effects that flow seamlessly into your game?s script. When you?re ready, move on to advanced math and components topics that can take your game to new levels of realism. By the time you're finished, you'll be able to put everything you've learned together and begin creating amazing, eye-popping games!  Lewis Moronta, “Game Development with ActionScript”
