Question

Can most Flash stock Behaviors be used in the new Flash-Air-iOS paradigm?

Hi,

As a Design person, I have lots of past experience using stock Behaviors for fairly standard apps, lots of basic click and response type work: to go to frame numers, go to frame label, stop, play, etc..  While I am trying to learn more about AS3,and have been able to port a sample App from Flash to my iPad; do these relatively simple, standard behaviors work if I wanted to base an App in skills I am most familiar with?  If so, is there anything special I need to do with publishing settings, change the Actionscript type, etc?

Thanks in advance,

Bryan

The answer is Yes, but also look at the Snippets panel (in Flash Pro CS5.5). With that you can have more advanced scripts attached to the timeline, and triggered by things on the stage. You can then look at those scripts to see how they work. There are a lot of comments in the scripts, so once you see what lines are needed you could delete the comment lines, and see how little code it takes to do some of these interactions.

Hi guys, thanks much.  You know Ambari, I never knew whether I was coming from AS1 or 2 in using behaviors, been using Flash for sometime, not sure, maybe a little of both.  Thanks Colin, sounds great.  Yes, I think I can probably work out the new Snippets concept, based on the way I would in past grab a stock behavior and then analyze the code and edit as you suggest, so thanks for the tip!
