Chapter 2 Scripting Overview

• Chapter 2 Viewgraphs
• Scripting is a typeless interpreted language for programming in the small
• Application level scripting language is a scripting language tied to an application, application can be customized and extended.
• Application level scripting examples
  • actionscript
  • gnu emacs had a lisp programming language for custom configuration
  • vim scripts | eclipse scripts | textpad scripts
• For more details on scripting review to PHP website samples
• Action Script Game

ActionScript IDE Overview

• Example Button, Clip, UIComponent Who Sees Mouse on( rollOver )
  • Trace SWF Flash | Function SWF Flash | Assignment Dynamic Text Box
• UIComponent User Interface Component
  • UIComponent Example| Flash File

Actionscript programming examples

• trace - used to send output internally in Flash IDE myTrace.fla | myTrace
• dynamic text - dynamically displays text myDynamicText.fla | myDynamicText
• input text - reading input from flash to actionscript myInput.fla | myInput
• my Properties Display basic Object Properties myProperties.fla | myProperties
• assignment example, computes circumference and area given radius myCircle.fla | myCircle
• illustrates table of flash comparison operators comparison2.fla | comparison2
• Above Version is Superior compare2Numbers.fla | compare2Numbers
• comparison, conditional statements, logical operators compare3Numbers.fla compare3Numbers
• Switch Illustration mySwitch.fla mySwitch book example extracted page 69-70
• Infix Calculator
