I know this was a common AS2 technique, but is that true of AS3? I
thought that the timeline was kind of out the window (except for true
frames-over-time actions within individual MC's) with AS3. And just to
be clear, I'm not asking to be critical, but rather because I'm in the
middle of trying to wrap my AS2-mind around AS3 :)
I do virtually all my AS3 coding using Flex, with no timeline, but often
using the layout containers and other features that I don't think are in
Flash CS3. I have developed using Flash AS1/2 without using the timeline,
but usually using a hybrid - small animations using the time line but
contained in MovieClips, loaded and controlled from actionscript in a main
movie only having actionscript on one frame (to kick off) - sometimes in
classes, sometimes not.
Yes, you're right about my suggestion being a common AS2 technique, but I
thought it's an easier approach for Helmut rather than the full blown thing.
I don't think that using AS3 necessarilly means abandoning all flash
techniques from the past.
