Hey,
I went through a tutorial book on Flash CS3 that included some AS3 in it. The book was very good and I feel that I have a fairly solid ground level understanding of the program and of the coding structure, but when I have been looking through other books on AS3 as well as this website, it seems that the way I was taught to code is not the way that you guys are. For instance I do not understand the "import.flash.display" type coding. Here's is the way I was taught to code...
var myLoader:Loader = new Loader();
myLoader.load(new URLRequest("slideshow.swf"));
myLoader.x=-460;
myLoader.y=-220;
addChild(myLoader);
var content_req:URLRequest = new URLRequest("information.txt");
var content_ldr:URLLoader = new URLLoader(content_req);
content_ldr.addEventListener(Event.COMPLETE, onComplete);
function onComplete(event:Event):void
{
content_txt.htmlText = event.target.data;
}
If there is a "proper" way to code, then I would love to learn and understand it. Just right now, with all of this being so new, I am not at a level that I can adequately figure it out. Thank you so much for your help.
