New on Adobe TV: 1:1 with Doug Winnie

by Doug Winnie on April 6, 2009

as1on1.jpg

Partnering with the Adobe TV, The Edge Newsletter and Adobe Developer Connection teams, we have created a new video series to help Flash Professional users get up and running quickly with ActionScript 3.

This new series introduces the basics of ActionScript to access and manipulate the settings of graphics on the stage. Building on this, the series will introduce how to create interactivity using code that is clear to understand and doesn’t get caught up in the details of the ActionScript language.

Check out the series on Adobe TV, which will publish additional episodes in the coming weeks expanding your knowledge of ActionScript for Flash Professional:
