Summary
Wow! This chapter has been a whirlwind tour through vast stretches of Flashland. Hopefully, you've now gained an appreciation of how different aspects of ActionScript can be useful for physics-based animation.
If you've struggled with any of the material in this chapter, we highly recommend that you brush up on your knowledge of Flash and ActionScript 3.0. Here are a couple of books that we particularly recommend for beginners:
