--- 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! (:

I have wanted to go to AS3 for ages but I can't directly code objects on stage anymore :(

Circle-Circle Collision Detection

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

At 18 hours ago, Diki wrote: Wrote another: The Static Keyword.

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!

Updating the list with the new tutorials:

- Arrays, Vectors and Dictionaries by Kirk-Cocaine
- Bitwise Operators by Diki
- Circle-Circle Collision Detection by Spysociety
- Circunference and Line Interseption by CocosMiller
- Objects by Spysociety
- Singleton Design Pattern by Kirk-Cocaine
- The Static Keyword by Diki

Billiard Game Physics

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

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

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

Wrong link, how do I edit this? :(

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.

Updating the list with the difficulties:

Basic:
- Events by MSGHero
- Objects by Spysociety

Intermediate:
- Arrays, Vectors & Dictionaries by Kirk-Cocaine
- Circle-Circle Collision Detection by Spysociety
- Object Oriented Programming by Diki
- Singleton Design Pattern by Kirk-Cocaine
- Static Keyword, The by Diki

Advanced:
- Advanced Keyboard Detection by Diki
- Billiard Game Physics by Spysociety
- Bitwise Operators by Diki
- Circle-Rectangle Intersection by CocosMiller
- Tile-Based Mechanics by MSGHero

Also check out this external tutorial by martingtr:
- Drawing Waveforms in Flash

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

Also I will be doing a tutorial on trigonometry, then also physics.

Any new tutorials are welcome (:

Path Finding with A*

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

As3: Simple Navigation Button!
Hope I could help ;)

Also, emanuele feronato has made a really nice tutorial! emanuele's tutorial explains how to make a game like PvsZ in As3 Flash

Wrote a new one, based upon tonypar16's request.

Thank you Spysociety this was helpful.

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.

As3: startDrag Area in a Circle

and also, bump. Let's see some more AS3 tutorials!
