As the scripting language for Macromedia Flash, ActionScript has evolved incrementally over many releases. At the heart of ActionScript 2.0 is a formal and familiar approach to object-oriented programming (OOP), including full support for classes, inheritance, interfaces, and other common OOP concepts. ActionScript 2.0 also includes features that enhance ActionScript programming, such as variable data typing, function parameters and return types, and comprehensive debugging information. ActionScript 2.0 benefits developers by encouraging better programming structures and reducing coding and maintenance time.
If you're new to the ActionScript language, see Introducing ActionScript for an easy introduction to ActionScript. If you're familiar with ActionScript and want to get started creating classes with ActionScript 2.0, see Using Classes: A Simple Example in the ActionScript Reference Guide.
