How do you actionscript

ActionScript is a scripting language based on ECMAScript. ActionScript is used primarily for the development of websites and software using the Adobe Flash Player platform (in the form of SWF files embedded into Web pages), but is also used in some database applications (such as Alpha Five). Originally developed by Macromedia, the language is now owned by Adobe (which acquired Macromedia in 2005), which continues its development. ActionScript was initially designed for controlling simple 2D vector animations made in Adobe Flash (formerly Macromedia Flash). Later versions added functionality allowing for the creation of Web-based games and rich Internet applications with streaming media (such as video and audio).
This is what ActionScripting is...
But i cant Really known for sure how to use it...
Basically using Some Programs for Some Animations (As said).

Don't start with actionscript. It's too hard. Start with Eclipse and make a MMORPG. Eclipse is the easiest to get started with, and it has by far the best GFX.

It's not like we can insert the knowledge of actionscripting into your brain.

actionscripting, is basically a language, like C++ or Java, used by flash game and movie developers.. It is has many features... that add interactivity to games... for example, in the asteroids game, actionscripting used the "hittest" funtion to determine whether or not to go to the gameover scene when a asteroid hits your ship... i too, am new to actionscripting, but I am still working with it to design a game... also, actionscripting allows it so that when u push the play button on youtube, the movie plays... that uses the,

playbutton.Onrelease, gotoandplay "movie"

scripts... if you want know more about actionscripting, go to actionscript.org or read some tutorials... or just google it:)

actionscript is fun, I tell you. (/sarcasm)
But the more you learn, the much more you can do with it
Sound is a pain in the @$$ to work with though, since flash doesn't seem to be able to handle bass embeds

Hyjal, Wikipedia is not a reliable source for information. (But it can be... sadly)

You can learn actionscript in High school and in college classes.
Its quite hard to learn, it's kind of like learning another languedge.

There is multiple versions of aS too such as:
aS 1.0, aS. 2.0, and aS 3.0
The most used version of aS is 2.0, and I believe
that is what blank used to code pawngame.

Blank used A3 to code pawngame and you need to learn a gaming programming language...

[Firstmate]

Pawngame isn't in AS3 (I think o.o)

[Marine22]

Pawngame isn't in AS3 (I think o.o)
Pawngame is not AS3
But PT is.

[TopHatMan]

I think pawngame is AS2 or java

Actionscripting is like learning another language. It takes years. I've been taking classes for a year and I'm still not that knowledgeable.

I'd say half of another language, I never really found it to be to hard.
Just like learning how to open a door, then more doors, then you realize you can open more doors with the doors you already opened.

Plus if you were really serious about learning it I would go to lynda.com, yes you have to pay but they illiterate so much better then other websites.
