If you are less experienced with writing ActionScript, you can add components to a document, set
their parameters in the Property inspector or Component inspector, and use the Behaviors panel
to handle their events. For example, you could attach a Go To Web Page behavior to a Button
component that opens a URL in a web browser when the button is clicked without writing any
ActionScript code.
If you are a programmer who wants to create more robust applications, you can create
components dynamically, use ActionScript to set properties and call methods at runtime, and use
the listener event model to handle events.
