Hey guys. I like many others out there was having a really hard time making the jump from AS2 to AS3. I’ve never considered myself a really heavy programmer and so all the new things introduced in AS3 just gave me a headache. The biggest hurdle was I although I’ve worked with flash since version 4, I’ve never messed with creating my own classes and suddenly everything has to be a class. It wasn’t so much the changing of terminology or technique that held me back, it was having to change the way I thought.

So if this sounds like you, I’ve started writing some tutorials from this perspective in hopes of helping others make that jump. If you are interested you can check them out here:

Let me know if it helps you out at all because I’m probably more likely to write more articles sooner then later if I know people are actually reading them.
