Hi. My name is
Martin Legris and I thought that I would spend some time and create a site that offers a directory of the best resources to learn ActionScript 3 (all flavors) quickly and effectively.
I have some nice ideas for this site, and I will work on it when I get the time. For now, I started to gather content, so here is pure content (and nothing else!). If you would like to propose a tutorial, please email me
at mlegris _(at)_ newcommerce {dot} ca. Thank you!

This tutorial covers the basics of using the Google Maps API for AS3. Namely:
- Dealing with Longitude and Latitude coordinates
- Setting up your API Key
- Localization
- Map Attributes
- Map Interactions
- Info Windows

n this post, I will add code to identify each request uniquely, give you a class called "AbstractClient" that will handle most of the mechanics and is easily extended. The idea is to give you a base on which to build.

Ok, so we’re going to try to make a Flickr search tool using Adobe Flash CS3 and ActionScript 3 along with XML from the Flickr API. In this installment, we’ll get and show the most recent image from Flickr. By the end of Tutorial 1 (which should have a few parts at least), you should have something like this flash thing.

The easiest way to understand how to build a Google Maps API for Flash application within Flash CS3 is to see a simple example. In this tutorial, we'll create a simple Flash movie, add some ActionScript code, export that file as a SWF file, and launch the file within a browser for visual inspection.

It’s time to see how can we build a Flash Facebook application.
What we are going to do is a Flash movie to be embedded in a Facebook application, able to interact with the user by publishing notes and stories on the wall.
The first thing we need is the official Facebook Actionscript API. This library contains all we need to create a complete Facebook Flash application.

I will discuss the method I have developed to consume RESTfull web services using AS3. This method was developped over time, I have written many different web service clients since last summer, about 20 of them; for different web services. Some of them require no parameters at all, some of them require GET params only, while others require GET & POST parameters.

I will continue on the exploration of consuming REST web services in ActionScript 3. We will cover possible errors first, then create a versatile web service client object which is easily adaptable to all your projects.

Today I will develop on the data handling once the data is received from the webservice calls.
I will describe some methodologies I've developped that help mainstream data handling by using custom data types to hold the data, and custom iterators to access these data, and custom event types to transport the data.

In a previous tutorial I explained how to send a bitmapdata content to the server getting value of each pixel in a BitmapData instance. Now, thanks to ActionScript3 new object ByteArray and the latest release of AMFPHP we can easily transfer a bitmapdata object using just a bytearray.. nothing else.

In this tutorial I show you how to directly return database records to Flash using AMFPHP.

This tutorial discusses how to obtain and set up the Adobe Flex SDK, how to set up your development environment, and how to program in ActionScript to build your first Google Maps API for Flash map.
