ActionScript 3 is a full-fledged programming language, with complete object-oriented capabilities, event handling, sound and video support, drawing capabilities, support for regula.

Here you stand (or sit or lie) at the start of a long and perilous journey to becoming an ActionScript developer.

Well, OK, maybe not all that perilous—it’s not like there are any dragons, angry trolls, or even anything as dangerous as a mildly annoyed snail—but you can get some pretty nasty finger aches from all the typing. Umm... where was I? Ah yes, ActionScript. In this chapter, we’ll look at what exactly this thing called ActionScript is, the processes you’ll go through to create an ActionScript project, and what ActionScript can bring to your Flash work.

Toward the end, we’ll dive right in at the deep end and look at an example of an ActionScript 3.0 project in all its naked glory. Don’t worry—you’re not expected to understand any of what’s going on at this stage. The aim of this example is to whet your geek taste buds (everyone has them, even if some people won’t admit it; they’re responsible for that "oooooh” sound we make when we see an iPhone or any other shiny new device). The idea is that once you’ve seen the potential of ActionScript, you’ll be hooked and inspired enough to want to read the rest of this book in one sitting. Before we get that far, though, I thought it might be nice to take a stroll down memory lane and look at how ActionScript came to be, stopping along the way to sniff the flowers and enjoy the views.
