Maybe I should have started this blog a couple of months ago when I really started to read my first book about AS3 but, it’s still not too late. The purpose of having this blog up is mainly to help those coders who are actually trying to get started with class based programming or better to say OOP. Maybe it will help others if they really hear where to start and how to start their move from AS2 to AS3 but I think this will also help those who are starting from AS3 directly.
Basically, I’m not going to teach you any AS3! But what you will find here is the whole way through troubles that I, personally, am going into while getting myself boosted with OOP with AS3.
Right now that I’m writing this, I have not yet written even one class by myself but I have read a lot about it in different books, my favorite is ActionScript 3.0 Bible, and at the same time I have worked on a lot of tutorials you may find around on the net specially actionscript.org. So overall, I think I have a good understanding of what is a class and how you can use and organize it for your projects.
You know what I love about OOP, the very sweet fact that it will enable you to create one time class and use it in a project and in future use it in another project very easily without touching any algorithm in inside of it. Of course you may extend it, or create different interfaces of it for different uses, but you don’t have to modify the written class anymore. This surely saves time when you are doing some very big projects and especially when you are working on a team.
Our little company consist of just 5 programmers right now and we are just working on AS2 projects and I’m telling you, it’s really a pain for me to get everything organized and it has happened a lot that one of the coders overwrites another coders file by mistake and makes the work complicated... but now that I’m teaching myself ActionScript 3.0 it gives me the feeling that soon, very soon, we will be able to control projects much easier.
Oh, and one thing, maybe in this blog you see a lot of silly notes by me about how I’m developing something, so please feel free to correct me and I would appreciate your guidelines 
I am about to start my first project in AS3, very excited about this!
