Parting ways with ActionScript 2.0; one last experiment

December 13th, 2007 : Nik Rowell

Several months ago, I had the privilege of attending Flashbelt, a 3-Day conference on Adobe Flash capable of dropping the jaws of enthusiasts and critics alike. One of the hottest topics of the conference was the release of Flash CS3, and with it, the new and improved ActionScript 3.0. The new version boasted enhancements performance, features and overall sophistication. The catch was that there were significant changes in the class structure and approach to common tasks.

After a brief period (3 months) of discouragement on the dramatic changes from As2 to As3, I’ve decided it’s time for me to embrace the change and say goodbye to ActionScript 2!

Before jumping off the deep end into AS3 experiments, I would like to share an old AS2 experiment I started that uses the ColorTransform class to manipulate individual (Red, Green and Blue) color channels of a bitmap. Expand the ‘Control Panel’ to modify the channel values - Click here and have fun!
