Won’t it be great when like Flash 10 or 11 comes out. The ActionScript will be so advanced you can just type in what you want in plain \*\*\*\* english.
Example:
big\_btn.onRelease = function() {
gotoAndPlay(“down”);
}
New AS:
Hey make the big button and make it go to that one frame labled down…or it might be up. I dunno you figure it out
Or this would be fun:
Yeah if the player with the blue jet shoots the player in the yellow jet. Just blow up the yellow jet. Oh yeah and make it look cool too. Thanks
(There someone can type out the “if” statement for that lol).
Yeah yeah I know. Newbie hatein on AS. I can dream \*\*\*\*IT!!! lol. Peace out

won’t it be great if people in the year 2010 (or something like that)
would talk in programming languages only?
à la:
import market.\*
woman.onEnterFrame=function(){
if(beer\<=5){
market.goandbuy(“beer”)
}
}
instead of telling her 10000000 times my voice could just repeat it in her head as long as she didn’t buy new beer
… or imagine what somebody with a for loop could do in reallife

Its my hope that in the future I’ll be able to buy just one beer and create as many instances of it as I like. Now THAT would be progress!
beerbottle.onRelease = function() {
this.prevBeer.\_refill = 100;
mouth.gotoAndDrink;
updateAfterEvent();
}

lolz. The concept your leading upon Arekaine is AI which is where technology will advance to. Just hope we’re still around then.

No, no. AI will be like
“Hey, computer! Where’s the beer I asked for?”
“You can’t have a beer. Medical research shows that beer causes anal warts.”
“I don’t care! Give me a beer!”
“Don’t take that tone with me, young man. Now go to your room.”

I’m thinking that AS will get more complex before it simplifies.

Roger that… !
Or maybe AS will be out ? The next big thing I can think of in terms of advance is 3d real time browsing, with full effects & texturing & post-prod, like walking around in real ultra world in real time…

Ah come on dude. I still barely understand AS. You’re scaring me with all this 3D talk lol

yeh that crazy 3d thing would be cool,
but like watshisname said, i barely understand actionscript…
ergh imagine how long it would take to make that sort of thing
ps flying cars would be cool… exept when ur learining
then you would die.
:d:

A lot of actionscript is almost plain english. Let’s just review the example code posted…
big\_btn.onRelease = function() {
gotoAndPlay(“down”);
}
This says, when the clip big\_btn is released, go to and play the frame label ‘down’.
Sure you have the little odds and ends like function() and curly brackets… but aside from this little tidbits, it’s pretty much self explanitory in english 😉

After coding enough, Actionscript is plain English…😃
