Okay I have read a lot on actionscript and done a few tutorials from here and other places, I have come to notice that it is pretty much the same as C++.

My question is: Can you use functions and/or classes, and if you can how would you go about doing so?

Thanks in advanced.

BTW Awesome site you have here!

i am learning c++ and yeah ive noticed its very similar… you can do functions and classes… and even switch statements… its really cool… i unfortunately never got really into it… i think there are prototypes too… you might want to check on the actionscript tricks page… i think it has somthing about prototypes and functions… classes you will have to ask someone else… i know there are some people who can help you here… and switch statements are the same as c++ as far as i know… so check out the actionscript tricks… heres the link

look at

dynamic event handlers with Flash MX  
using prototypes instead of functions

i think those will give you a little insight…
