Presents a catalog of simple solutions to commonly occurring design problems. These 23 patterns allow designers to create more reusable designs without having to rediscover the design solutions themselves. The authors begin by describing what patterns are, and how they can help you design object-oriented software.

Using the latest research in neurobiology, cognitive science, and learning theory, 'Head First Design Patterns' loads patterns into your brain in a way that sticks. In a way that makes you better at solving software design problems, and better at speaking the language of patterns with others on your team.

This collection offers expert Flash tips and tricks for optimization, creating interesting effects, ActionScript programming, sound and video effects, and much more - and you don't need to be an expert to use them (although you'll certainly look like one).

Serves as a reference manual that describes the application programming interface (API) for Macromedia Flash Player, the client runtime environment in the world. This work includes syntax and usage information; descriptions of classes, properties, and events; and copy-and-paste code samples for every element in the Action Script language.

Using task-based, step-by-step instructions and visual aids, this guide deals with advanced Flash features and includes concise explanations of the animation, navigation, and interactivity techniques. It provides features such as Action Script 2.0 commands and standards, expanded support for rich media, a streamlined user interface, and others.

This is a reference for the latest version of ActionScript. Author Colin Moock has added hundreds of new code examples to show new Flash MX techniques in the real world. This second edition builds on the strengths of the original book while incorporating changes from this revision of the software.
