Macromedia Flash is one of the most versatile and user-friendly applications available today. Combine Flash with the Internet and you have unlimited possibilities for everything from animation to web applications. With ActionScripting, all of that potential becomes easier and more streamlined. Object-oriented programming (OOP) is a different approach to programming, intended to solve some of the development and maintenance problems commonly associated with large procedural programs. OOP is designed to make complex applications more manageable by breaking them down into self-contained, interacting modules. VTC author, Michael Hurwicz, explains the versatility and power of OOP complete with working examples and re-usable scripts. To begin learning today, click on one of the Macromedia Flash ActionScript 2.0 OOP tutorials.
