Advanced ActionScript Components Mastering the Flash Component Architecture

In the world of software development, the concept of reusability is frequently met with skepticism or even total disbelief. Here are the most common reasons:
- Components are released most frequently in a compiled format, meaning that their implementation cannot be modified or amended whenever needed.
- Without proper guidance, the time required to learn how to reuse functionality can become comparable with the time requested to implement it from scratch.
- Experienced developers tend to trust their own code more than code written by someone else. The first point in the previous list does not apply to the Flash Component Architecture since its source code is available with the Flash authoring environment—a truly major benefit, because developers can both learn from it and tweak it if necessary.

I wrote this book to address the second point by providing a concrete guide to teach you how to reuse each component successfully, and in a fairly convenient amount of time.

Finally, experienced developers can trust this book since it provides information that can truly save a lot of their valuable time. Being a developer myself, I know how disappointing it can be to deal with incomplete information that leaves you with time-consuming problems to solve. That is why I took particular care in providing complete examples that go beyond using the components to also demonstrate how to fully customize them, and how to fix any bugs in their default implementation.
