New Video Tutorial on ActionScript 3 Advanced XML

This tutorial builds on the last one and gets into more advanced topics such as how to deal with custom namespaces. The finished application consists of a Kuler theme viewer where the user can cycle through the most popular themes simply by clicking on the stage. All of this is done in the Flash IDE without any OOP. Remember that just because all you hear about is OOP and Flex, doesn’t mean that you need to use them to do some pretty complex stuff. Check out the tutorial and play with the finished application below. Click in order to change the theme.

New Video Tutorial on ActionScript 3 XML Basics

I just finished uploading a new tutorial to gotoAndLearn() which shows you the basics of working with XML in ActionScript 3. Things have changed significantly in this area and trust me, they are changes for the better. The new technology is know as E4X and it makes parsing XML data a breeze. This tutorial shows you how to build an RSS reader using some of the new Flash CS3 components. Once you get the hang of E4X you will be hooked!

Enjoy the tutorial!
