Chapter 33. ActionScript Basics

Introduction to Flash ActionScript

You can add interactivity to your Flash movies using ActionScript. By adding interactivity, you can allow users to interact with a movie, triggering an immediate change in the movie. For example, a user might click a button to activate another movie clip or jump to a Web page, or you might set up a movie to stop when it reaches a certain frame. Interactivity can be as simple as a button press or as complex as an e-commerce site or an online videogame.
