ActionScript 3.0

Back to school

As you can see, I’ve started a blog. I’ve also officially made the leap to ActionScript 3.0 for all my production. Some things I have noticed:

  • Your memory management needs to be fastidious to avoid memory leaks and weird behaviour (more on this later)
  • It feels more like a real programming language at last
  • It runs A LOT faster. Tell a client this, if they’ve got you maintaining some AS2 dead horse

I’ll be posting stuff I learn about AS3 that you should know as I go… so stay tuned.
