The Adobe technology platform ActionScript reference for RIA development is a 50 paged Printable PDF which provides a complete ActionScript 3 API listing for Flash Player, Adobe AIR and Flex 3. [ via Brajeshwar ]

I never realized how much flash resources and code Yahoo offers. A borrowed the description from Coding Cowboys on what they’ve just come out with, but i’m wondering what happens if and when Microsoft buys Yahoo? Will this all go away or change into Silverlight?

Yahoo! Developer Network releases ASTRA, the ActionScript Toolkit for Rich Applications. A collection of Flash and Flex components, code libraries, toolkits and utilties developed by Yahoo! for ActionScript developers.

ASTRA Flash components comes with the Tree, Menu, TabBar, AutoComplete, Charts, AlertManager, AudioPlayback, and MenuBar components for Flash CS3.

ASTRA Flex components include AutoCompleteManager, ColorPlaneAndSliderPicker, ColorSliderPicker, DropDownColorPicker, IPv4AddressInput, TimeInput, and TimeStepper components for Flex.

Stumbled on these, and I wanted to get them in my bookmarks for my fellow coders. Parsing ITunes Library.xml with ActionScript 3.0 and plist parsing in PHP.

Mike Chambers shows how to use the as3syndicationlib actionscript library to parse RSS 2.0 Feeds in ActionScript 3.

Colin Moock has an article asking if ActionScript 3.0 really is as hard as people seem to think it is. Must read later…

Brian Deitte points out some great links for those interested in the future of Actionscript 3. Thanks Brian!

I’m bookmarking this good summary on 12 Great Ways to Learn ActionScript 3 in Flash. Also stumbled on JoeFlash’s post on learning Actionscript 3 isn’t harder than learning Actionscript 2, and he also points to the “50 reasons AS3 Kicks Ass” over at gskinner.com. I’ve gotten away from Actionscript since version 2, so I’m bookmarking good “intro” links and tutorials.

Great set of coding examples of getting PHP5 and Flash CS3 (ActionScript 3) to work together.
