Almost all of the examples of coding on Macromedia are OOP.
If you download any of the open source code in the
http://www.osflash.org/ site, you will find nicely written, peer
reviewed code written in Actionscript. For dozens of examples, download
ActionStep.
It is easy for everyone, some people just look at the glass as half empty.
It does not supplant common sense or remove the need to think about what
you are doing.

Ok, I see its not so easy for everyone. Can anyone point out some
tutorial-like examples on internet or books. I know a lot of theory
(inheritance, polymorphism...) but I would like to see more
applications for
it so I can be more confident when I use it.

My main motivation for this stuff in Flash is so that my code actually

duplicate variables, the list goes on...
In addition, I write my classes in FlashDevelop, which gives you code
completion. Which means when I start to type:
> import mx.
I get a listing of all packages that Macromedia's written, instead of
looking for stuff in the help (that's fun).
And best yet, when I type:
var sBigD:ScottsSuperHugeOne = new SuperHuge(); //just a little
poly-morphism thrown in there (huck-huck) ;)
and I type:
> sBigD.
I get a list of every function in my class, as well as its signature
(params
& types).
I'm only talking about FlashDevelop here. Guess I'm spoiled by Java &
.NET
which have instance access to API's at your finger tips (when in the
right
IDE's).
I'm just trying to find a better and efficient way to go. Way open to
suggestions!
