Practical ActionScript 3

ActionScript 3 is the latest version of the ActionScript programing language, and is quickly becoming the lingua franca of the Flash Platform.

However, isn't ActionScript hard to learn?
Doesn't it require object oriented programing experience?
Isn't it just for developers?

In this session Mike will dispel some of the myths around ActionScript 3 and give a practical, example driven introduction to the language in Adobe Flash Professional. Mike will show how common tasks done in ActionScript 1 and 2 can be done in ActionScript 3.
