Now as things heat up we begin with keyboard inputs in our little series of actionscript 3 basics tutorials. I guess after a couple more I could start a series named actionscript 3 gaming tutorials. So make sure you read this one through.

Continuing with my series of AS3 basics tutorials, here’s the newest and one of the most important ones in the field of interactive entertainment, The event handling. I’ve tried to keep it as simple as it could get.

As you know I decided to start to make my transition from AS 2.0 to AS 3.0. On my way I’ve decided to cover a series of tutorials about the basics of actionscript 3. I will mostly be using very simple language and it would be easy to follow if you’ve already worked on AS2, although it shouldn’t be too hard if you’re just starting to work on flash.

I kept asking myself how do I create a tower defence game that works. Finally I cwas able to create one from an unfinished prototype from another site. I made a lot of changes and this one “almost” works. So I’ve uploaded an source file. Go play!!
