What's Next?
This chapter's purpose is to give you a hefty dose of ActionScript 2.0 early in this book so that in later examples of using Flash Pro, you'll have a good foundation for understanding what the scripts mean and how to use them. As more ActionScript is introduced, you'll get additional information.
In the next chapter, you'll learn how to create animations, including using movie clips as part of the animation process. Although a good deal of animation is accomplished using tweens, organizing an animation often requires judicious use of ActionScript 2.0.
