This is one that I figured out pretty quick. What has the ActionScript 2.0 Migration to say about this subject: ActionScript 2.0 ActionScript 3.0 Comments random() Math.random() Removed. Use Math.random() instead. I could have seen that coming: Deprecated since Flash Player 5. This function was deprecated in favor of Math.random(). Returns a random integer between 0 and [...]

Where did attachSound go in AS3? It’s almost the same as attachMovie (I already covered attachMovie: read attachMovie post) I was never very good in sound, and I didn’t use it a lot in my applications/animations.

Where did swapDepths () go in AS3? This is what the ActionScript 2.0 Migration has to say about this: ActionScript 2.0 ActionScript 3.0 Comments swapDepths() Method Removed In ActionScript 3.0, you can achieve similar functionality by using the methods of the DisplayObjectContainer class, such as the addChildAt(), setChildIndex(), swapChildren(), and swapChildrenAt() methods. Removed… bummer, so with what [...]

In some cases I can’t help thinking that AS3 hasn’t made our live easier. The same happened with the change that happened from the AS2 setRGB to AS3. Specifies an RGB color for a [...]

I’ve made a mistake, the code I original wrote doesn’t work (I’m glad nobody noticed it ). You can find the correct class here My previous post is about my first step into ActionScript 3 (AS3) and in my case: trail and error is the best way to learn stuff. But it takes some time [...]

I finally started programming with ActionScript 3 (AS3); I know, I not a early adopter… And the first steps in AS3 are as uncomfortable as the first time I started OOP programming … or when I started moved from AS1 to AS2… Since I started working for NOISE 5 months ago and moved to Amsterdam, [...]
