Actionscript 2 was an extension of AS1, and they had similar syntax. They were designed to be accessible to non-programmers, and work with the Flash environment. Actionscript 3 is radically different in syntax and structure from AS2. AS3 is an object-oriented language, and much more similar to ‘real’ programming languages. While it is still optimized for use with Flash, it can now be used standalone, and code written in other languages are easy to port to AS3.

Can you make a tutorial on how to do slopes and ladders, I can’t translate from Tony Pa’s code.
Is there a such thing as prototype in AS3?

Please respond, it would be much obliged.

I can see that you wrote this from scratch great work. Tonys Get corners did the trick. I actually used the Flash Geom Rectangle Class to figure out the corners for me.

DOnt worry Frederik J just wanted to hate and hijack you AS3 implementation at the same time LOL.

Great work man.

Hey Emanuele, I really really like your blog and have been following it for a while. But I notice you keep using AS2 in your examples: don’t get me wrong, you are awesome to share them either way!… What I am wondering is: is there an underlying reason why you haven’t make the switch to AS3 completely?… Any bugs you have bumped into or something?…

Only the getCorners function I used was the same as him… also I didn’t know it.

I didn’t USED his one. I even didn’t read his one, know I read it because you mentioned it.
