AS1 OOP: Conclusion

by senocular   | filed under Object-Oriented Programming

Hopefully this tutorial has been helpful. No doubt there is a lot to programming in OOP, especially with Flash Actionscript and even more so if you're just starting out with it. If you don't seem to get it right away, don't worry. It will take time. The more you use it the better you will understand it and the more capable you will be in using it. Just have patience and stick to it and you'll start to love what it can offer you.

If you have comments, questions or corrections (I would be surprised if I didn't mess up somewhere), please let me know. And for additional help, don't forget to visit our forums!
