This is great! I can’t wait to put something together.
Does the video tutorial count?
Yes it does.
Dear all,
I am dealing with flash the last two years. I have read books and books and analysed the public domain flash code of any web site that offers actionscript 3 modules for free. My conclusion, is that flash has become that complicated as the medical or computer science. I could give as an example the senocular XML actionscript. Nice, but how many of those that have accessed that site have understood how it works and use it in their applications.
Your aim is perfect. However, the advise of an old programmer could be be not to shoot for the best flash manual but for the best manula per topic. Just a minor example: Arrays and yet multidimensional arrays with regard to inmported XML files having arbitrary children per node per childe per children for building a dynamic meny horizontal, vertical and fitting on the stage if it is to big. I could pose similar questions for many topics, like the bubling case of dispatched events. I have seen none of the implementation using it efficiently and with economy of code. A last but sounding example is the reading of a URL link. There events produced there. Apart from the On_Complete or On_Error and On_Progress no substantial explanation is given for the HTM and security events. No examples (I have in front of my something like 10 books concerning actionscript 3 and numerus of web sites).
Concluding, your aim is perfect but I am afraid you are looking for a book concerning Computer Science or Medicine. Should anybody will achive to write something substantial, comprehensive, complete, covering all the particuliarities of flash, like the the famous error message “addchild: unknown method” then I’m willing to add over and above the prize you are offering an additional five hundred (500,00€) EURO on the basis that I’ll approve the book. Be sure that I could provide you many more examles especially when those concern the really advanced features of flash that are referenced almost everywhere but not well documented or supported by examples.
Sincerely,
