it took me quite a bit of frustration to finally figure out what the document class was when i started working with the flash application. i poured over a few books and read up some on the web, but it wasn’t until i had messed with what it could do did i realize. here’s how i broke it down. most all of the “get up and running” flash tutorials i saw had you writing code in the timeline. i wasn’t totally against that, but coming from a programming background, i wanted to leverage the power of actionscript as much as possible, so i wasn’t really all that excited to write actionscript code inside the timeline. after playing with a few tests, it popped into my brain that not only do you need to have the document class saved in a seperate *.as file, but it must be properly written.what do ...

finally, after months of being bogged down not only with the day job, but finalizing my recent project i am finally able to sit down and spend a few minutes getting my own site cleaned up, as well as get this blog going. i will have a few writeups on actionscript.  namely to fill in the blanks where i found either books or tutorials fell short of helping to explain something.
