ActionSnippet – AS3 tips and tricks

Posted: November 6th, 2008 | Author: John del Rosario | Filed under: AS 3.0 | Tags: , | No Comments »

I’ve bookmarked this site. You should too! There are some very useful and helpful tips in there. Like the latest one, as of this writing, about simplifying multiple method calls to a graphic (or any) object.

From this:

mc.graphics.lineStyle(0);
mc.graphics.moveTo(10, 10);
mc.graphics.lineTo(20,10);
//...

To this:

with (mc.graphics) {
    lineStyle(0);
    moveTo(10, 10);
    lineTo(20,10);
    //...
}

Much more readable and easier to type. :)

Check it out here and bookmark it.

I happened on this site today. It is a ” fan-curated gallery” of all of Pixar’s publicly available conecpt artwork. It’s not very extensive right now, but it still is a great source of inspiration.
