The SWF::Action Module

The SWF::Action object encapsulates a segment of ActionScript code that can be associated with a particular frame of a movie, a button event, or a particular DisplayItem (anything with an AddAction( ) method). You write the ActionScript code and pass it to the ActionScript object as a string. When the SWF file is created, the JavaScript-like ActionScript is parsed and translated into ActionScript bytecode, which is embedded in the file. Ming uses different bytecode interpreters for Version 4- and Version 5-compatible code (as specified with the SWF::setVersion( ) function).
