In this 1-day hands-on course you will learn how to develop reusable Flash based applications using ActionScript 3.0 and an object-oriented approach. This course is also suitable if you wish to use ActionScript 3.0 to create components for Flex-based development.

This ActionScript course starts by introducing Object-Oriented ActionScript, exploring the ActionScript 3.0 language and its features. You’ll learn how to implement ActionScript 3.0 code using object-oriented concepts through various hands-on exercises. You will also find out about real-world applications and learn various useful tips and tricks, when we will have an in-depth look at the development workflow and at how you can best structure applications and use design patterns to solve common problems and help you optimise the development workflow.

By attending this course you will:

• Learn ActionScript 3.0 syntax
• Understand core concepts of Object-Oriented Programming (including Inheritance, Encapsulation, Polymorphism)
• Apply best practices for developing reusable applications
• Get a thorough understanding of the Flash/Flex workflow
