--- AS3: Main ---

Hey. I'm creating this thread entitled "AS3: Main", based upon the old AS3: Main and As: Main. The main question is why? There are two reasons. Firstly there is a large amount of people who still want to use the old and slow AS2. Making this thread might help a lot people to change to AS3. The second is that the previous threads are very old, one is from 2005 and another 2007, when AS3 was still borning. Then I decided to create this. The main objective for the new AS3: Main is to teach people Actionscript 3.0 and to learn more.

How it works?
It is simple. You just have to write a tutorial named, for example, "AS3: Tutorial Name" and then post a link to it
here. When starting a new tutorial you write "AS3: Main" or whatever and also leave a link here.

They will be divided in three categories through two subdivisions:
- Basic: all the basic stuff
- Intermediate: all the new challenges through coding
- Advanced: the threads which requres higher knowledge in programming.

The two subdivisions are only how the links for tutorials are going to be organized in the lists, they are "General" and "Specific", the first one means all regular stuff, with no idea behind at all, experiments; the second one means all the ones which were made for a particular reason, like a game.

-----------------

The goal is to create loads of well explained and interesting tutorials, helping people as much as possible.

Current tutorials:
- Bitwise Operators by Diki
- Objects by Spysociety

Useful links:
- Old AS3: Main thread
- Attila0413 flash tutorials
- Adobe Actionscript 3.0 Language Reference

Now write yours! (:

Wrote another: The Static Keyword.

Response to As3: Main 2012-03-19 12:16:47


Wrote something Circumference and line interception.
Hope it's help some one.

Following on from this I've written AS3: Singleton Design Pattern which explains how to use the static keyword to create a singleton. I'll probably try an write some other threads detailing other design patterns.

AS3: Arrays, Vectors & Dictionaries.

Fairly broad and cursory, but should serve as a good introduction I hope!

Tile-Based Game Mechanics

Maybe a pathfinder tut up next to complement this one...

Dealing with the same, the thought of not being able to code directly to objects on stage is terrifying..

Wrote another tutorial on Advanced Keyboard Detection.

Keep this going, I'm trying to switch to as3, and the gotoAndStop is hard to do lol. Any hints?

In AS2 it was:

MovieClip.gotoAndStop(2);

Now in AS3, the tricky part is that it's:

MovieClip.gotoAndStop(2);

And here's a tutorial from me: Drawing Waveforms in Flash

Response to As3: Main 2012-03-26 03:26:58


Wrong link, how do I edit this? :(

Response to As3: Main 2012-03-28 16:38:46


By the way, I would be really glad if someone write a tutorial about Events for Basic, Drawing API for intermediate and BitmapData for advanced.

All the tutorials I plan to do have these.

Also I want to reserve for me Physics and Trigonometry.

I'll take events, got some free time later today

Also planning on doing one on debugging code and dealing with errors messages

A Math object tutorial explaining the usage of each function or the most of them would be great.
Thank you!

Awesome tutorials, I think I'll write on on Saving and Loading XML files in order to save and load different levels for a tile-based game. It'll sort of go along with MSGhero's tutorial on Tile-Based Mechanics.

I didn't even know we had this thread.

I might make a tutorial later on... I could do one on client/server connections. It'd probably be using AIR , though, as the other methods are FAR slower.
Still, it's AS3.


Programming stuffs (tutorials and extras)

PM me (instead of MintPaw) if you're confuzzled.

thank Skaren for the sig :P

Hey, I was wondering if anyone knew a super simple way of coding a "fullscreen your Flash" button with AS3?
