What is Actionscript®?
ACTIONScript® is an object -oriented, full -fledged scripting language in which web developers can encode scripts to achieve top animation and interactivity for websites. It is an Adobe® Flash® programming language, which is used not only to create animated and interactive websites, but also to create highly graphical, animated and “flashy” websites. If Flash® is used, there is no need to know the ActionScript® language because of the graphical environment in which the files are coded.
Animation, drop -down navigation menu, images that fade and reappear after a specified number of seconds and introduction of the website, and the introduction of the website are just some of the things that can be achieved using applications. Status processes or meters can also be designed in Flash® to show visitors the state of loading a website. These applications can be coded "behind scenes" within Adobe® Flash® Program or in SOUsorech of external actions® that can be encoded in a simple program editing program. External actions® documents can be loaded or imported into Flash® (.FLA) files if the developer wants it. This could even be necessary depending on the type of application and the specific version of the Flash® version used.
There are three file extensions related to Actionscript®: .fla, .AS and .swf. Flash® creates .FLA and .swf files. The .FLA document is a source file that can be opened and edited in Flash®, but it's not a file that actually plays in the Flash® player. Files ending in .swf are the ones that the player processes, and creates what users see, whether they follow the presentation, or are visitors to the site that uses this scripting language. Documents ending in .As are external files that hold the code written in ActionScript®.
created by Mr. Gary Grossman, ActionScript® has similarities to JavaScripripTEM, another scripting language widely used in the development of the front-end site, and Java, a full C-based programming language. Not all Flash® developers devote time to learn the ActionScript® language, but those who code applications that use classes and subordinates learn IT IT. The language has been developed to learn and be easily learned and used to write applications for playing on a cross-browser-FLASH® platform. However, some website developers avoid the use of language because they have to rely on free, but a proprietary script player and because not all versions of the player are trouble -free in all browsers.
