Case 03 - ActionScript 3.0

In this case we had to use Actionscript 3.0 in Flash to move a object, which could be a simple square or our character, back and forth while not going outside of the scene/screen.

I started reading Learning ActionScript 3.0 - A Beginner's Guide(R. Shupe and Z. Rosser) trying to get a basic understanding of AS3.0, but I found it quite hard to get into it. And it would take me forever to go through that book to find the exact information I needed to complete this case.

So I pretty much ended up waiting for the lab class last Thursday, where we learned the basics of setting up a AS3.0 document and making things move. After that class I feel I got a somewhat understanding how this works, and should be able to solve future cases involving actionscript 3.0.

With some tips from fellow classmates I got my character to turn on the exact spot before going out of the scene and flip the animation when running back.
