Mobiles, desktops, smart phones, tablets, televisions, laptops, and digital pads are few major developments which have been done with the use of ActionScript 3.0. You can find excessive use of Adobe Flash and ActionScript 3.0 now-a-days. ActionScript is the scripting language in Flash to create immersive and significant applications for the audience. Develop high impact, remarkable, and interactive content for the new generation web, mobiles, and televisions.

ADMEC Multimedia is a pioneer institute in providing training on Flash ActionScript 3.0 in Delhi. We have trained more than 500 Flash professionals with over a decade of training experience. We are not only providing training for ActionScript but also we are specialized trainer for Flex, Flash Builder, MXML and many more technologies that are obligatory for developing dynamic contents on Flash Platform. We are offering classroom training, training to corporates, one to one training session and also offering online ActionScript classes.

All most all of us know that ActionScript is a very powerful tool to provide solutions to create mobile/desktop games, user interfaces (UI), smart quizzes, e-learning contents, image galleries, mouse trailers, and drop down menus etc. ActionScript 3.0 is also being used in Flex development projects. After learning ActionScript 3.0 from ADMEC, one can switch for Flex and Flash Builder also. After this you will be able to design really astonishing and striking application programming interfaces using ActionScript 3.0, MXML, CSS, and any Server Side Script (PHP, ASP, CFML etc).

Pre-requisite to join this course:

If you are using Flash and ActionScript basics from last few months or want to speed up your logics in Flash using todays most powerful script i.e. ActionScript 3, or you stuck while working on OOP (Object Oriented Programming) Concepts, XML Parsing, advanced Video/Audio Integration, Drawing API, Design Patterns, Regular Expressions, Events Handling, Display List, CSS Integration, Capturing User Input, or Networking and Securities then this program will suite you. Rather it would be a great idea for any Flash designer or ActionScript basic programmer to upgrade himself/ herself to ActionScript 3 right now. To gain the most from this program you must have experience in creating flash designs and animation using the timeline. And if you have basic knowledge of ActionScript (any version) or having programming background, then that would be an added advantage to you.

Learning outcomes Dur: 3 Months

Introduction to ActionScript

ActionScript doesn't need any formal introduction today. It has already reached at its peak and has achieved a standard in industry. Every programmer, web designer, and Flash Designer has adequate idea about it. But still for newcomer ease I would introduce it like this—"ActionScript is a scripting language, useful for creating interactive assignments with depending more on timeline."

This section will explore how to use all the diversified technologies and applications necessary. Here you will also learn about some competitive technologies of Flash.

Getting started with ActionScript

It's the real time to attend the ActionScript show. Here you will go through the concepts and basics to become a professional Flash programmer. Programming fundamentals, Objects, Data Types, Variables, and Functions are some of the examples that will be covered in this section. And this section will also explain you how to deal with the complete process when you work on some real world projects.

ActionScript Languages and Syntax

This section is successfully delivering contents required to know about core ActionScript language and syntax. Here we will drill down for advanced data typing, variables, functions, objects, document class basics, and a bit inheritance.

Object-Oriented Programming in ActionScript

Real scene of the programming begins from this chapter. Here we will emphasize on basic elements of Object Oriented Programming in ActionScript 3 as inheritance, polymorphism, encapsulation, composition, and interface. We will not dive deeper into describing the OOPs principles of inheritance, polymorphism, encapsulation, composition, and interface but we will teach you how to apply all these in Object Oriented Environment.

Working with Dates and Times

Dates and Timings are one of the significant topics in ActionScript 3. This version introduces two classes for handling all, i.e. new Date () and new Timer () in the flash.utils package. You can deal with many time based situations and timer intervals in ActionScript and also can show calendar date and actual time along with the project to the visitors.

Working with Strings

Strings are well planned sequences of characters or letters. Every programming has in-built methods and functions to work with text strings. String object provides all the required methods and functions in Flash. You can use these methods and functions with TextField, StaticText, XML, ContextMenu, and FileReference objects.

Working with Arrays

Arrays can store and carry multiple values at a time in a single data structure. Here we will discuss about types of array, their construction, methods, and properties etc.

Event Handling

Flash programmers can respond to user input and Flash events in a convenient way with the help of an event handling system. This section will explore event types, event flow, event dispatching, event handling, event object, event making and fire them too. Event handling system in ActionScript 3.0 closely interacts with display list, so we will teach you about event handling coordination with the display list.

Listeners

Listeners are the special functions that Flash Player executes when some events occur. Listeners are also known as event handlers. Here we will explain how to construct and add listeners in ActionScript 3.0.

Handling Errors

Want to create a perfect ActionScript application, then always use error handling methods provided by the ActionScript 3.0. It can save your visitors from unexpected error messages. Here we will drill down in error basics, types of errors, error handling techniques, debugger, creating your custom errors, error response, and error classes.

Using Regular Expressions

Regular Expressions are new in ActionScript 3. You can set more query and searches in your string object. We will teach how to use all the methods, metachars, modifiers, and patterns of it.

Working with XML

New XML classes are based on the ECMAScript for XML (E4X) specifications. XML is the sort for Xtensible Markup Language. Now you can deal with a lot of ease with XML data with these powerful and easy to use classes. Here, we will teach all the properties and methods of these classes.

Display Programming

Want to work with objects on the stage of Adobe Flash Player 9, then this section explores a number of methods to deal with them or on-screen elements. You will be a master of organizing elements programmatically or on the fly. You can expect a custom class to be shared by us in the section.

Working with Geometry

Want to create your own objects by programming then go for flash.geom package. Here you will find many more methods for creating rectangles, points and setting matrixes. You will also learn how to use declared properties in other classes.

Using the Drawing API

Want to start application from the blank canvas that gets shapes, images, video, audio etc through ActionScript on the fly. Then this chapter will help you, here we will teach you how to create your own graphics that open up a broad possibilities for your application. You would be able to create your drawing application, user interface, interactive art and many other elements by the ActionScript 3.0

Filtering Display Objects

Programmer can apply filters from flash.filters package to achieve many of the same effects that are available in many graphics manipulation programs like Photoshop or Fireworks.

Working with Movie Clips

The MovieClip class is the core class for animation and movie clips which are on the timeline. This class can be used as inherited class for movie clip symbols, so that this symbol can achieve all the events, properties, and methods associated with the base class. ActionScript 3.0 provides a very advanced and different approach when it comes to deal with the timeline. Our instructor will focus on all these in this chapter.

Working with Text

This section reveals all the matter related to dealing with text in ActionScript. You will learn how to display, manipulate, restrict, formatting of the text and capturing and restricting the input text.

Working with Bitmaps

ActionScript has the capability of creating, manipulating, and customizing bitmap data dynamically. You can also use advanced built in filter effects as noise or image effects on the piece of bitmap. All other related techniques will also be describing by us in this section.

Working with Video

ActionScript has introduced many new features to work with video object in Flash. You can set cue points and convert your video to multiple thumbnails without cropping or chopping out your videos. Our instructor will explain how to create or modify custom video skins and players.

Working with Sound

Sound is one of the most powerfully immersive ActionScript 3. Here you will learn how to load dynamically sounds from external location, sound controlling, adding sound effects on a video, audio feedback on an application interface etc. And you will also learn how to capture sound's meta and amplitude information to create visual representation of the sound data.

Capturing User Input

This section describes how to create an interactive user application that captures user inputs. And also will explain about the keyboard and mouse events, and then some more advanced options as customization of the context menu and focus management in ActionScript 3.0

Networking and Communication

In Flash you can communicate by a swf file with another swf file. You can fetch data, objects, and other information from some other swf files. You can establish a connection between Java Server and Flash Player that send and accept messages. But this is not the limit, you can also upload and download files from swf files by using File Reference and File Reference List.

Creating Animation using AS

3D Environment & AS

Working with Components in AS3

Controlling Dynamic Loading

Design Pattern

Projects: Gaming, XML Galleries, UI Designs, Components rich UI etc.

Some other topics to be discussed:

Client System Environment
Printing
Using the External API
Flash Player Security
Case Studies and Projects

Collaborative Project

Students will have to work with client side projects/ live projects and will have a degree of flexibility in choosing the orientation of their project. Students will work as a team and will be jointly responsible for the planning, conduct and outcome of the project, under the supervision of a member of staff acting as a guide. The project will be a significantly-sized production, with the objective of producing an output reflecting a real world need, together with accompanying documentation.

Learning Methodology:

• Implementation would be based on instructional design principles
• Classroom exercises, quizzes, and home assignments
• Continuous evaluation and feedback during the training
• Student has to pass through a very strong assessment system: Project Training,
• Practical Test, Theoretical Test, and a discussion (Viva)
