So, what is Action Script 3.0?

Actionscript 3.0 is an Object Oriented Programming Language. What does that mean? Everything in Action Script 3.0 is an object, from the commands we use to the shapes we create. ActionScript 3.0 is used in Adobes Flash for creating more advanced programs, animations, and games. I personally love ActionScript 3.0 due to the ability to have direct control over the graphics we draw on the screen. Doing the same thing in another object oriented language such as C++ or C# is a much more drawn out task which takes away from the creative flow. That and the fact that Adobe Flash creates optimized packages that make it easy for us to distribute our work on the internet.

Now that we know what ActionScript 3.0 is, lets try using it!
