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
going a bit offtopic here, but isnt polymorphism a non-issue in both flash
and java? People talk about like there can be such a thing in these
languages,
which isn't really true. It seems a bit silly to call something polymorphism
just because its implementing some interfaces.
oh well, that
Ricardo don't lose the faith! Ever! Sorry, I didn't see this post before : )
I'm using OOP Flash everyday, and yes, sometimes if makes you feel
stupid, but it's a matter of keep going until you feel comfortable.
Then, I have cristal clear that I'm not going to get mad with
patterns. Someone

they are different, as far as I know
an interface, as in 'Interface' type does not itself have an
implementation, whereas a subclass which displays polymorphism does, the
difference comes from your design needs, for example:

That's really not what polymorphism is.
Polymorphism is where an Object can be used anywhere where an instance its
class's parent is supposed to be used.
And it has a lot of applications.

aaah ok, so polymorphism isnt multiple inheritance, well ok, got
it wrong all this time, lol.
thanks for the enlightenment :)

It has to do with multiple objects (poly) being contrained by the same

I'll tell you a little secret about OOP.
Don't sweat it.
Sometimes the model jumps out at you but other times you
have to find it. How to find it? Write something that does
what you want. Then refactor it once you have a better idea
of how it works. The more you do that the more certain
OOP and Flash is indeed tricky to fully grasp. It has become easier and more
natural to implement OOP techniques on AS3 though.
@Neo: Completely agree with you.

My main motivation for this stuff in Flash is so that my code actually gets
checked by the compiler, vs. Flash's crappy built-in code-checking for the
stage. That is, it will tell me if I've mis-spelled something, created
duplicate variables, the list goes on...
In addition, I write my classes
