Overview
What are objects/complex data types?
Video Transcript
00:00Finally, we reached objects.
00:03As we talked about, we said everything is about object-oriented programming, as I like
00:05to call this title, and it's Unformal Name, Object to Objects.
00:09Well, please don't object to objects.
00:11It's a little bit hard, but not really.
00:13We're going to take it in a few steps that are going to make objects a lot easier to
00:16consume.
00:17And, obviously, before you even start working with objects, you have to make sure that
00:20you understand a few basic things before you even start working with objects.
00:25We already assumed that you know how to work with variables.
00:26We're assuming you know how to work with if statements and switches.
00:29And we're assuming that you already know how to work with functions, the basics of
00:33functions.
00:34You have to get it.
00:35You have to know how to call them.
00:36You have to know how to create them.
00:37You have to know how to send parameters to them, okay?
00:39Very, very important.
00:40If you don't, make sure you do.
00:43You don't have to understand functions 100%, but you do have to understand it 80%,
00:4785%.
00:48But as you complete objects, we expect you to make sure to follow up and make sure
00:51that you know 100% of functions of what we've learned so far, all right?
00:55Now, what are we going to learn in this object?
00:57What should you expect to know out of objects when we're completed learning
01:00this course?
01:01First of all, we're expecting you to know what our objects.
01:03So you'll know what an object is, okay?
01:05The next step is you're going to know how to work with them.
01:07You're going to know how to use them.
01:09You're going to know how to create them.
01:11And to top that off, you're going to learn also a few tricks of how to use
01:14them.
01:15We're going to visit a few other things.
01:17We're going to talk about classes.
01:18We're not going to create our own class, but we're going to talk about
01:20classes and what they are.
01:22So this course is packed, jammed with a lot of things.
01:25We're going to learn about this and hear about it for the first time.
01:28This is going to be a very important element in our coding.
01:31Now, if all this sounds like magic and keywords and not understandable,
01:35obviously, it's always very natural.
01:38We're going to revisit and talk also about brackets and look at a little bit
01:41more into detail about what they are.
01:43And we'll wrap up this title and wink at movie clips.
01:47And what does that mean?
01:48We really encourage you to learn more about Flash out of the developer
01:52basics at this stage.
01:54So go create movie clips.
01:55We'll show you how to create a movie clip quickly, but we expect you to have
01:58fun with it because in the developer basics, we're not learning about the
02:01internals of Flash.
02:02We're learning about the internals of programming languages in general.
02:07Technically, we're using ActionScript 3.
