Tap into the full power of Flash MX by learning how and when to employ ActionScripting. ActionScripting in Flash MX is structured into 2 parts. In the Foundation section readers learn general programming theory and how it applies to Flash. Then the book progresses through more complex Flash ActionScripting applications, including functions, arrays, objects, components, and interfacing with external data. Short tasks and real-world analogies demonstrate specific concepts. In the Workshop section, the reader actually builds practical applications that range in complexity from beginner to advanced. At the end of the Workshop section, the reader will actually debug broken scripts.

Flash to the Core

Review It

Coverage is not critically tied to a particular rev of Flash. Flash to the Core: An Interactive Sketchbook is about the creative process and what someone like Joshua Davis can teach the world about taking Flash design and development to new extremes.
Part one is all about Joshua Davis, the artist: his philosophies, his approach to Flash workflow, how he works with clients, how he explains and explores the world around him through his creative approach to Flash web design, animation and motion graphics.
Part two is about the work itself: 12 Flash-based projects Joshua has created in the past year. Some of these have won awards, others have been nominated for awards. Each project is a narrative and deconstruction, with the code used in the project included and explained.

Flash Remoting: The Definitive Guide

Review It

Flash Remoting MX lets developers easily integrate rich Macromedia Flash content with applications that are built using Macromedia ColdFusion MX, Microsoft .NET, Java, PHP, or SOAP-based web services. The result is complex client/server applications that more closely resemble desktop applications than traditional web pages. Gone is the click/wait/reload approach of HTML. Your web application uses Flash as the front end while Flash Remoting handles the communication behind the scenes with the application server. All the end user knows is that it`s fast and flexible.
The potential uses for Flash Remoting are endless. Flash Remoting: The Definitive Guide will help you understand this breakthrough technology and use it to build your own Rich Internet Applications (RIAs). Build applications that connect to a database, file system, or other server-side technologies. Or, use Flash Remoting to create:
*online stores that feature catalogs and shopping cart systems
*sound and video clip libraries
*banner ads with built-in shopping carts, click-through tracking, and site search capabilities
*new controls that can be used in place of HTML
*extensions to Flash, Dreamweaver, Fireworks, and more
*front-ends to databases for administrators
The book begins with Flash Remoting basics: setup, installation and an introduction to its underlying concepts. Next, you`ll explore the Flash`s User Interface components as they relate to Flash Remoting. Then, you`ll gain insights into Flash Remoting internals and the Remoting API. The book is rich with examples that you will be able to run on your own system.
The next section focuses on the server-side environment that you`ll use for your applications. Individual chapters cover Flash Remoting with ColdFusion, Server-Side ActionScript, Java, ASP.NET, and PHP.
The last section covers more advanced Flash Remoting techniques, such as calling web services from Flash Remoting, extending objects and UI controls, best practices, and debugging. Plus there is a detailed chapter demonstrating a real-world application. The book concludes with a Flash Remoting API reference.
Developers who are looking to create Rich Internet Applications with Flash will find Flash Remoting: The Definitive Guide indispensable.

Presents a standard framework for designing and implementing simulators and simulation-based training using Flash MX components. Written for experienced ActionScript programmers, the guide introduces the simulator architecture and the rules of statechart notation, then provides tutorials on creating common user interface elements. Four example simulators model a crane arm, a digital watch, a fish finder, and a cell phone. Both of the authors design simulators for a living. The CD-ROM contains source code, demo applications, and an appendix on the state engine data structure.Book News, Inc.®, Portland, OR
Flash MX for Interactive Simulation teaches a proven methodology for streamlining the planning, design, and implementation of realistic device simulations. Practical, step-by-step examples and working simulators demonstrate how to apply this methodology to the construction of a variety of devices, from cell phones to robotic arms. This tried-and-true approach will guide even the most complicated simulation project to a successful conclusion. Readers will find that their simulations are easier to program, maintain, and upgrade. The book even includes an extensive starter toolkit of interfaces objects (such as dials, gauges, timers, and knobs), implemented as Flash MX Components, that can be reused by readers in their own simulation projects.
