As any Flash developer worth his or her salt knows, youÕre not tapping all of the programÕs power unless youÕre taking advantage of its scripting language. Not to worry: With Flash 8Õs improved scripting language (which includes a visual interface!) and this project-based guide you donÕt have to be a master programmer to do so. In these pages best-selling authors Derek Franklin and Jobe Makar with Danny Patterson, Member of Team Macromedia Flash, use hands-on lessons and simple, step-by-step instructions to translate real-life activities into scripts, in the process demonstrating that scripting is something you already instinctively know how to do. To that end, the authors have provided methodologies and techniques for building nearly 40 real-life Flash 8 ActionScript projects, including sample games, wireless applications, Web sites, and more—all of which will help you work faster and more efficiently. The companion CD contains all of the project files and images youÕll need to complete the bookÕs lessons.
