ActionScript
ActionScript is the programming language built into Flash that allows you to add interaction to your projects. I have only developed a handful of lessons that cover very basic ActionScript. ActionScript has eveloved over the years so you have your choice of versions 1-3. Of course, some of the more advanced features like the Bone Tool and 3D require that you use ActionScript 3.
By the end of this lesson you will understand how to add basic Actionscript that stops the timeline and allows the viewer to move along the timeline. Please use the as3template and the following tutorials to complete the basic actionScript assignment. Then I would like you to practice what you have learned on with the goto_06practice file. It should have gotoAndStop on the first 3 steps and gotoAndPlay on the end with a stop action to top it off (make your own buttons;-)
Lesson 1: In this tutorial you will setup your project by duplicating the existing button. By the end of this tutorial you should understand instance names, camel writing and frame labels.
Lesson 2: By the end of this tutorial you should understand how to open the actions panel, add a stop, event listener, function, and frame label.
Lesson 3: By the end of this tutorial you should understand gotoPlay and Stop actions.
