Darkness 0 Posted October 7, 2007 Report Share Posted October 7, 2007 You really need one. The only web site I can actually find that explains programming languages in an understandable way is W3Schools. I've been searching for a good ActionScript 3.0 tutorial, and I've had no luck. They assume that you know everything that they are talking about. They don't explain any vocabulary. I've become a very good programmer over the year (PHP, C++, C+, C, C#, etc.), and normally learning a new programming language is SIMPLE.Besides, most of the tutorials aren't in correct order, they're just a bunch of random tutorials. For example, W3School's tutorials always have a beginning and an end, most ActionScript 3.0 tutorials I have located do not.Thanks! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Ingolme 1,031 Posted January 11, 2010 Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 I'd say that if you want to learn ActionScript 3.0 you should look into learning real programming in a college or university.ActionScript 3.0 is highly object-oriented. There's more to programming than just learning commands and syntax. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
justsomeguy 1,135 Posted January 11, 2010 Report Share Posted January 11, 2010 There's also an entire suite of Actionscript tutorials, examples, and references right inside Flash itself. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Ofir 0 Posted January 26, 2010 Report Share Posted January 26, 2010 @ Darkness, that's quite impressive what you wrote down here :)Would you please mind telling me how did you get good at these (I see that you mentioned a time period of a year that took you to learn these) ?I've been doing C# for mostly 5 months (on & off) in that time period.Started fresh from a "Teach yourself in 24 hours" book, until I got to arrays and I didn't understand what this guy was talking about because he assumed the reader has (just like you said) previous knowledge of C# although he states that it's for complete beginners (and nothing of the stuff he assumed the reader would know is covered in the early chapters).From then I got to just googling operations I wanted to comprehend, along with some VTC classes which were very good.Now I am trying to assimilate what I have learned so far and move on but it is quite difficult.Was there a magic C# tutorial site that I missed?Please share it with me Quote Link to post Share on other sites

And download Microsoft Visual Studio, because it has code hinting, i've learn't c# with that very fast. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
skaterdav85 12 Posted September 7, 2011 Report Share Posted September 7, 2011 Ofir, I suggest you look at a basic object oriented programming tutorial. If you can find one for C#, that'd be really useful. Otherwise, one in Java would be useful because Java and C# are quite similar in syntax. Lately I have been working on a project using the Flex framework and ActionScript 3. Although it might be difficult to have a full on tutorial on Actionscript 3, I think it'd be useful to at least dedicate a forum for deploying ActionScript based apps. I've had quite a few questions while using Actionscript 3, since its a mix between JS and a traditional OO language like Java, and it'd be helpful to discuss ActionScript 3 with other developers.

skaterdav85 12 Posted September 7, 2011 Report Share Posted September 7, 2011 who cares if it's a few months old? the topic is still relevant and i wanted to suggest that w3schools put a forum topic for actionscript, but i didnt want to start a new topic if one existed.

Ingolme 1,031 Posted September 7, 2011 Report Share Posted September 7, 2011 I pointed it out because you were directly addressing a person who probably will not read your post. We do have a Flash forum, but it's not going to be much use if we don't have experts who post there. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
skaterdav85 12 Posted September 7, 2011 Report Share Posted September 7, 2011 true, i probably should have looked at his post count before addressing him. Even though there aren't experts yet, I'm sure people will come. Having a forum titled Flash seems kind of pointless, especially since Flash alone seems to be dying. However, I think it may be more useful to broaden the category to include rich internet applications (Flex and Actionscript). Quote Link to post Share on other sites
