   In this book, you'll learn

     - All the ActionScript 3.0 (including math and trigonometry functions) 

   and Flash rendering techniques you'll need to start animating with code 

     - Basic motion principles such as velocity, acceleration, friction, 

   easing, and bouncing 

     - How to handle user interaction via the keyboard and mouse

     - Advanced motion techniques such as springs, coordinate rotation, 

   conservation of momentum, and forward and inverse kinematics 

     - All the basic 3D concepts you need to do 3D in Flash, from simple 

   perspective to full 3D solids complete with backface culling and dynamic 

   lighting Flash has long been one of the most approachable, user-friendly 

   tools for creating web-based animations, games, and applications. This 

   has contributed to making it one of the most widely used programs for 

   creating interactive web content. With each new version of Flash, 

   ActionScript, its built-in scripting language, has become more powerful 

   and a little more complex, too. ActionScript, now at version 3.0, has 

   significantly matured as a programming language, bringing power and 

   speed only previously dreamed about to Flash-based animation, going far 

   beyond traditionally used keyframes and tweens. The material inside this 

   book covers everything you need to know to harness the power of 

   ActionScript 3.0. First, all the basics of script-based animation and 

   setting up an ActionScript 3.0 project are covered. An introduction to 

   object-oriented programming follows, with the new syntax, events, and 

   rendering techniques of ActionScript 3.0 explained, giving you the 

   confidence to use the language, whether starting from scratch or moving 

   up from ActionScript 2.0. The book goes on to provide information on all 

   the relevant trigonometry you will need, before moving on to physics 

   concepts such as acceleration, velocity, easing, springs, collision 

   detection, conservation of momentum, 3D, and forward and inverse 

   kinematics. In no time at all you'll both understand the concepts of 

   scripted animation and have the ability to create all manner of exciting 

   animations and games.
