What computer programming language is used to build Complex interactivity (buttons, navigation, etc.) into Flash? Thanks
i'm not sure if my professor wants me to be more specific or not, is there one that's the main programming language used?
I would assume Flash ActionScript then. http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=flash+action+script&btnG=Google+Search
Flash programming is in one main version called ActionScript or AS for short. They started with AS 1.0, then AS 2.0, and have recently released AS 3.0. When the above person was refering to XML and such that's where the actionscript designates for info to be pulled from the xml file and what to do with it. As for fireworks making things dynamically for flash the simple answer here is no. Fireworks is simply a graphics program installed on the computer as is completely seperate from flash except for the fact that it's graphics can be imported and exported back and forth while on the computer. But not dynamically into an .swf file. sorry
Actionscript is flash's own programming language, but its got a lot of similarity with javascript, asin the basic concept of "object dot property" (object.property).
