ActionScript classes -- Version 8

Documentation for ActionScript classes includes syntax, usage information, and code samples for methods, properties, and event handlers and listeners that belong to a specific class in ActionScript (as opposed to global functions or properties). The classes are listed alphabetically and include new classes in Flash Player 8 that are found in the flash.* packages. If you are not sure to which class a certain method or property belongs, you can look it up in the Index.

System.showSettings pops up the Settings dialog box. Sorry I can't answer the other parts of your question.

Start with the Learning ActionScript in Flash book in the Flash help or LiveDocs. Then use the ActionScript Language Reference for help using specific APIs. Good luck.

Good comments. I'll go a step further. Actionscript is developing (rather quickly) into a more and more robust, and hence, more involved programming language. Since Actionscript 2, we have had the benefit of many of the object oriented (OO) features of some of the 800 pound gorillas like Java and C++. For this reason, and to ensure that you have a good foundation, good books that offer the basics of A: programming in general and B: Object Oriented design, will serve you well for your whole programming life. That said, not all books are created equal. Where aScript is concerned, there are a couple of books that I think are universally regarded as the best on Actionscript, both procedural and Object Oriented. They are, Actionscript for Flash MX, the Definitive Guide and its OOP companion, Essential Actionscript 2.0, Both by the great Colin Moock ( moock.org ) and published by O'reilly. There's a tutorial or two on this website by him. He's going to be the one to watch for Actionscript 3 as well. Happy Coding
