i wonder what you are trying to accomplish by learning this......

My short-term goal is to learn everything in AS3 that I could do in AS2, which wasn't much, but was still very important. Anything else I learn along the way is bonus.

Well, FUCK.
I absolutely comprehend your frustration. Unfortunately, my knowledge of coding is fairly equal to the one of that little goat/sheep/dumb bullshit sauce there. So I can't give you pointers. I've only worked with RPG Maker which envolves almost no coding at all...
If you in fact comprehend the program, will it improve largely your flash projects (sounds like a dumb question... but, hey, I still prefer windows xp over vista or 7 for example).
Cheers! Don't let some stupid manual get you down!!!
Happy Holidays!
The issue is that I have upgraded from Flash 8 to CS3. I could still use all AS2 stuff in CS3, but I want to start using an AS3 VCAM. It's much more versatile.
Unfortunately, using an AS3 VCAM requires that I at least learn how to do all of my old AS2 techniques in AS3 now. Of course, my AS2 knowledge was just as bad as my AS3, but at least I had cobbled some useful AS2 tricks out of already-existing code.
I've got almost everything I NEED for AS3, but none of that information came from my training. I'd like to have some level of proficiency with coding rather than just frankensteining it from other sources.

AS_3.0 is definitely tricky to tackle. Just hang in there and stay focused. The more focused you are the quicker your brain absorbs all the required knowledge.
Fuck As3 stick to what you know that always works out the best.
Anger management bro....
a simpler program bro
taking notes from other animators bro
none of these mean anything to you now but soon you will realize that this might do minor changes to the upcoming animation
I start my computer repair classes in January, I have to take a basic coding class the first semester and an advanced one the second, I sure hope my books and teachers are a lot better than your book or I am not gong to be able to keep up.
Well, you can ask a teacher for clarification if you find something confusing. A book? Not so much.
R1665
yeah... I know what you mean. the last videos I posted were AS 3.0 It's not something you want to get into trust me :/ I had to go back to 2.0
you should totally do the same :)
I've reached the point with AS3 where I can do all of my old AS2 techniques, so AS2 is officially obsolete. Of course, that doesn't change the fact that the AS3 coding language was evidently created by a sadist.
I still have no real comprehension of AS3. I'm just cobbling together code from other sources. Same thing I did with AS2, actually.
R1665
R1665, maybe you should get MaelstormM--who happens to be a badass programmer--to help, although he specializes in game development rather than VCam.
Nah, my core programming needs are minimal. You might be surprised at just how little coding I can get by on.
R1665
Might have spoken too soon on keeping AS3...
What I have come to realize is that AS3 is Adobe's way of hate-fucking anyone below Stephen Hawking's level of intelligence. If you're not an AS3 guru, then you're in for a world of hurt on even the simplest of commands.
Guess what I just discovered doesn't work on my current project? stop();
That's right. STOP doesn't work. Take a moment to process that.
STOP. DOESN'T. WORK. It's the same line of code that AS2 had, or it's supposed to be, anyway. ...except now to doesn't work. STOP doesn't work. It doesn't fucking work. Unbelievable.
The most basic ability that every flash animator should know is how to stop the timeline. It is the core of menu design. If you cannot at least stop a timeline, then you might as well just pack it in and go home.
AS3 has turned a simple STOP command into something that is unforgivably prone to error. It works only when it wants to and if it doesn't work, then good luck finding the mile-long block of code that would make it work.
This saddens me. It really does. I thought I had a functional enough grip on AS3 to make it work for my movies, but it would seem that even the simplest of commands have become nightmarishly stupid and frustrating.
STOP... DOESN'T... WORK.
Sorry, AS3. You're done.
R1665
I told you to forget about it I knew i was right.
i used to be a flash animator, but then i realized stop doesn't work.
"most basic ability that every flash animator should know is how to stop the timeline" - AAHAHAHAHAHAHAhahahahahaha - LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOL!!! ROFL!!! Just get rid of it! I remember TomFulp could not put a pause button on one of his Madness Combat games a few years ago. Maybe that's why...
so i finally found your ass...u need to make an update damn it when is sakura gonna kick some ass
I stick to action script 2. I've heard that the only good thing for 3 is that it's good for making games, but if it's just movies then I've heard 2 is the best for that. I hated 3. 2 wasn't too heard, i was able to find a lot of tutorials on newgounds to teach me the basics on it, but trying to learn 3 was a nightmare. Good luck with that.
I'm not bothering with AS3 anymore. Complete waste of time, it sucks, end of story.
R1665
Actionscript 3 does suck. It's why I will never upgrade my flash program.
Well, you can upgrade your flash version and still use AS2. I've recently gone from Pro 8 to CS3 and AS2 is still an option.
R1665
so R1 ima ask a random question what do you think about the SOPA(stop online piracy act)and PIPA (protect IP act) that is probaly gonna shut down most websites?
Won't pass. Too much public scrutiny and money running against it.

1:45 and on. (delete the space)
R1665
when are u gonna give a update..man its been new years for while now
Beginning of February.
R1665
start
get r1665Input
get cerapInput
awesomeness = r1665Input + cerapInput
print awesomeness
dountil (crap = r1665Input + cerapInput) or theEndofTime
So.........in the meantime can you give any hints to the new additions to the exiles team?
poohhardy1
Not the positive of posts but who gives a shit......

Negativity is seriously underrated.
