 How to start this ActionScript Stuff?
-Think like computer-Talk and Answer
When something is called language, it is used for communicating. ActionScript is one of the programming languages, so as you can image, it is also used for communicating? and with who? To Flash, and to computer. The whole Flash program interface to new scripts programmers is very friendly compared to those windows programming languages, such as Pascal Delphi, or C,C++ etc. The result you tried from ActionScript is fast effectively and easily satisfies you. However, all programming languages use logic, and they all have the same logic theory,too. Logic is the way you can tell computer how to do things for you. Computer doesn't have imagination itself, so it could only understand the thing which is make sense and that is just the logic.
And this logic is built on rules. For example, when you want to have something coming out by pressing button in the movie, what is the thing going through your mind? Will you think it will sound a lots of easier if all we need to do is just take a button on the stage, and you speak : 'now.. make me chocolate.' , then the movie is finished! Oh, but now the computer has not really that smart yet, so you have to write, you write the ActionScript, and Flash will read it and accomplishes the task. The Flash will ask you where is the button, which button and how does this button make chocolate? Where should I put the chocolate after making it? What kind of flavor?.etc, and so you'll give the answer to Flash for these questions ,to let him understand how to do the job. When your task becomes bigger and bigger, you'll have to set up more rules for Flash and organize all of these rules, and when you are doing this, you are just also writing the ActionScript.
The idea of writing ActionScript is there has nothing comes out without a trace. Like I mentioned, ActionScript and all other computer languages are like our human languages, has none, verb, adjective, phrase?etc, how do we use our language to make other people understand so do we make computer understand. (After all, it is we human create this computer language, right?)
