General+Information+About+ActionScript2

== (Mr. Arkin, could you put that animation on the Homepage please?) =General Information About ActionScript 2.0 (AS2)=


 * AS2 does not support 3D (AS3 does)
 * language seems like a mix of Turing and Java
 * there are 3 basic types of variables: real number, string (text & words), boolean (true or false)
 * variables do not need to be initialized
 * variable types do not need to be stated
 * variables do not need casting
 * variable types can be changed during the execution of a program
 * the FPS setting determines how many times a piece of code is run per second
 * the program does not crash when there are ArrayOutOfBounds errors and when there are InputMismatch errors

Random Code Snippet: if (_root.ground.hitTest(_root.player1._x+(_width/2), _root.player1._y+6, true)) { Right = false; } if (_root.ground.hitTest(_root.player1._x-(_width/2), _root.player1._y+6, true)) { Left = false; }
