[edit] Introduction

ActionScript is a scripting language developed by Adobe (formerly Macromedia) for its Flash animation studio. ActionScript language is pretty close to Java. The newest version ActionScript 3.0 - released together with Flash CS3 - focuses more than ever on OOP (Object oriented programming). ActionScript is a proprietary language designed to control animations as well as create more advanced multimedia and interactive applications such as slide-shows, games, quizzes and tutorials, websites, CD-roms. ActionScript is extremely powerful and quite easy to learn. Actionscript may be a little difficult to learn at first, but it it will soon get fluent and easy to use.
