-# AS3
+# ActionScript 3 (AS3)
-This is a test of Royale Documentation Template
+ActionScript is an object-oriented programming language originally developed
by Macromedia Inc. (later acquired by Adobe Systems). It is a derivation of
HyperTalk, the scripting language for HyperCard. It is now a dialect of
ECMAScript (meaning it is a superset of the syntax and semantics of the
language more widely known as JavaScript).
+
+Because both ActionScript and JavaScript are based on ECMAScript, most code
you write in AS translates well to JS. One significant difference is that AS
uses the concepts of classes and objects to structure how your code functions,
while JavaScript does not have those concepts. When you get ready to compile
and run your application, the Royale compiler translates AS-specific code into
JS code organized into pseudo-classes, which then run just fine in a JavaScript
world.
