Migrating from AS2 to AS3

For those of you who are used to AS2 this should be very helpful

Getting started with AS3

A pretty long (5 long pages) guide to ActionScript 3 with diagrams, example code and files for download. Even those of you who have been writing in AS3 could learn something from this (I did too). Strongly suggested reading.

Adobe ActionScript Development Center

This is where Adobe keeps resouces on learning ActionScript

Event Handling in AS3

Everything (and more) you wanted to know about how to handle events in AS 3.0. This also shows how to do it using Flex. You should find out more about what Flex is but we will not be using it in this class so you can skip those parts for now.

Basic info on Document Class and Adding Classes to Library symbols

Tutorial on how to use classes with AS3

Shows how to make some classes to make clips draggable and to use the keyboard for movement. He does not use the Document class however.
