Every time a new Flash project comes my way I wonder, “Should I try and build this one using AS3?”. Actionscript 2 is now becoming outdated leaving me in the dust. I have to admit trying to learn AS3 is pretty much like starting all over again. I struggle to do the most simplest of things. Things I’ve done time and time again using AS2.
In hopes or teaching myself I have been using lynda.com. Lynda is a great learning tool and allows you to learn a lot quickly but, it doesn’t teach you everything in great detail. Hoping of picking up some more detailed information I remember purchasing the O’Reilly’s ActionScript: The Definitive Guide years back when it all started. O’Reilly makes great quick reference books that give highly detailed information.
So last night I made a trip over to Borders and picked up Essential ActionScript 3.0. I’ll keep you posted on my success wtih AS3. If you are in or have been in this same situation I would love to hear how you made the transition and what resources may have helped.
