Actionscript 3 is the next generation scripting language of the Macromedia Flash Platform. In my session at Spark Europe in Amsterdam i will explore the new features and changes of the language from the point of view of an Actionscript 2 programmer. I will discuss native support for Regular Expressions and XML with E4X, analyzing sounds, the new and improved event model, binary sockets and other significant enhancements such as the new ‘DisplayList’, a fundamental part of Actionscript 3 programming. Finally i will take a hard, high, look at what has changed to make the new AVM so much faster than its predecessors.
Spark Europe is going to be a great event, get yourself over to Amsterdam for the first installement of the premier european flash conference.
