A simple application

This section takes you through the steps to create a simple ActionScript 3.0 application using Flash components and the Flash authoring tool. The example is provided both as a FLA file with the ActionScript code included on the Timeline and also as an external ActionScript class file with a FLA file that contains only the components in the library. In general, you will want to develop larger application using external class files so that you can share code between classes and applications and to make your applications easier to maintain. For more information on programming with ActionScript 3.0, see Programming ActionScript 3.0.
