Although it wasn’t always the case, these days a good understanding of object oriented programming principles and the use of common design patterns are essential in order to become a successful Actionscript developer. When we’re working on projects, the Head First Design Patterns book is never far away – and one of the patterns that has been incredibly useful time and time again is the Abstract Factory and variations thereof, so I thought we’d dedicate a YouTube tutorial to it.
I’d love to hear about your own experiences in regards to object oriented programming in AS3 – please leave a comment!
The material in this blog post and in the video is an excerpt from our Advanced Actionscript 3 (Object Oriented Programming and Design Patterns) training course.
You can watch the video and read up on the details after the break.

Are you uncertain of how to use XML data in Actionscript 3 and Flash? If so, you’re in luck because we’ve just uploaded a brand new Flash tutorial to YouTube. It comes in two parts and guides you through how to load and use XML data in Actionscript 3. In particular, the tutorial works with an RSS feed – but of course the techniques apply to all types of XML data.
Here are some of the points covered:
It’s all pretty straightforward once you’ve mastered the technique – come and take a look.

It’s Friday again – and that means we’ve just uploaded another Actionscript training video to YouTube! This one forms the beginning of a series on Maths-based Actionscript programming and looks at positioning and centring visual elements on screen. Think of it as something gentle to get you started…
I really love these topics and it’s an area that at first leaves quite a few people stumped on our Introduction to Actionscript Training Course so it seemed like an excellent candidate for another training video.
We’d also love to hear about what kind of maths causes you difficulties when writing Actionscript - please leave a comment.

As part of our regular training videos, we’ve just uploaded a brand new Flash tutorial to YouTube. It comes in three parts and guides you through creating a drag and drop shopping cart in Flash.
The video covers essential Actionscript 3 skills, such as external classes, event listeners and of course drag and drop and uses object-oriented techniques.
