Sample ActionScript 3 Flash file for a very basic bare bones XML gallery with a scrolling thumbnails track, simple XML based image descriptions, external CSS and simple load progress handling. As of Version 1.3, this gallery supports multiple XML files.

This file was built as a demonstration of procedural coding using ActionScript 3 and as a direct comparison to a very similar sample file created using ActionScript 2. At times it is helpful to see comparisons between two different scripting methods, so you can see what has changed and how to achieve the same basic functionality when contrasting ActionScript 2 to ActionScript 3.

Updated Feb, 2009. Fix for thumbNails loading issues. Fix for using a loader object repeatedly and an argument error under Flash Player 9. Please let me know if you are still having problems using this Gallery with FP9!. Re factoring code. Updated to latest tweenLite release (VERSION: 9.3).

An example using ActionScript 3 of creating and animating diagonal lines for “Op Art” type effects using ActionScript. This is my first AS3 class file, so is probably pretty rubbish. In this current version, the angle of the lines is fixed. Changing angles is something I intend to implement. You have control over line thickness, colour, tween direction and speed of tween. It is provided as a Flash CS3 demo and ActionScript 3 class file.
