Flash 8 ActionScript 2.0 Language Reference

Tuesday, 20 September 2005

Finally we have a proper online ActionScript 2.0 Language Reference to rival other languages such as Java and C#. I can’t begin to tell you how much time this is going to save me, every single day of my life. Oh, and you can download it as HTML for offline viewing too!

My one suggestion would be to include documentation for the whole of the mx package - components and the like. I know all that’s available through Macromedia LiveDocs, but using that system is about as painfull as having root canal work done without the anesthetic. Seriously, anything that makes 20+ page requests to view a single page of help is in need of an overhaul.

Still, aside from the small omission, this news makes me a very happy developer. Thank you, Macromedia!!!
