Chapter 4

In Chapter 4, I give a crash course in ActionScript 3 programming, covering topics such as Classes, Events, and Errors.  While this is not a comprehensive course in AS3, but should be enough for developers coming from other programming backgrounds or earlier versions of Flash.  For AS1/2 devs, I also recommend this tutorial to aide in the transition.  There are also a number of great articles by Grant Skinner on topics like garbage collection.
