ActionScript 3.0
ActionScript is now a more robust and powerful
language. It boasts significant performance
improvements and includes many new features,
such as improved XML handling, regular
expression searching, sound visualization
capabilities, and full-screen display.
The language itself isn’t the only area of
improvement. There are several new code editing
features in Flash, such as code collapse, block
comment/uncomment options, and one-click
navigation to reported errors. You can now double-
click an error in the Compiler Errors panel to go
to the relevant code in the Actions panel or Script
window. When editing external ActionScript files,
you can also specify which FLA to publish directly
from within the AS file. A new ActionScript 3.0
debugger has been added.
