Hey ActionScripters
I’m having some problems to get myself programming OO in ActionScript. I’ve learned Java/OO/Design Patterns at school so I know how OO programming works but I’m having troubles with using this technique in Flash which is rather different to Java (Swing).
The documentation on the Kirupa website give me a lot of information but a lot of principles I already know from Java.
My exact question is: when do I have to use OOP in Flash?
I think the best way to answer this is that you guys reply to this thread if, in some particular situation, I have to user OOP or not.
Why? Because I can’t find good examples on the internet of a simple OO-flash-app/site.
Current situation: I have a background image that has 6 different instances on the Stage (all with a different hue and a name like: back_xx_mc (where xx = the number)). This allows me to tween between them so that they give the effect of a constantly changing background.
At the moment it is programmed procedural. But should I use classes?
Do I have a background.as class then that has … (what? :p)?
Do I have a backgrounds.as class that has an array of background.as-instances?
Thanks in advance.
