Before moving on with the rest of the book, you need to cover some of the fundamental aspects of ActionScript. If you are a designer, the thought of coding might be daunting. Or, if you're starting out with Flash, you might think the same thing. Luckily, it's not as complicated or as difficult as you might think. Without some code, it's very hard to create increasingly complex effects using Flash. This chapter begins to show you how easy it is to start moving instances around the Stage in an interactive way by using code.

This chapter walks you through the fundamentals of ActionScript; then you practice writing the code using those fundamentals by building a simple matching game.
