Copy Motion as ActionScript 3.0
For unmatched designer-programmer collaboration,
you can now select a tween created in the timeline
and copy the ActionScript 3.0 code required to
recreate it. The relevant attributes of the animation
are automatically translated into a combination
of ActionScript and XML, and can be replayed by
ActionScript. This allows you to use ActionScript
to easily modify attributes of the tweens.
New ActionScript 3.0 Components
To leverage the power of ActionScript 3.0, a set
of fast, lightweight components has been created.
Components are pre-created collections of
graphics and code that can dramatically reduce
the amount of design and scripting you have
to develop.
See Adobe Video Workshop topics:
• Creating a simple application with components
• Using components
• Writing ActionScript for components
