Introduction to ActionScript 2.0

As the scripting language for Macromedia Flash, ActionScript has evolved incrementally over many releases. At the heart of ActionScript 2.0 is a formal and familiar approach to object-oriented programming (OOP), including full support for classes, inheritance, interfaces, and other common OOP concepts. ActionScript 2.0 also includes features that enhance ActionScript programming, such as variable data typing, function parameters and return types, and comprehensive debugging information. ActionScript 2.0 benefits developers by encouraging better programming structures and reducing coding and maintenance time.
