ActionScript is the Flash scripting language that enables you to add complex interactivity, playback control, and data display to a Flash document. You can add ActionScript within the Flash authoring environment using the Actions panel, or create external ActionScript files using an external editor.
You don't need to understand every ActionScript element to begin scripting; if you have a clear goal, you can start building scripts with simple actions. You can incorporate new elements of the language as you learn them to accomplish more complicated tasks.
Like other scripting languages, ActionScript follows its own rules of syntax, reserves keywords, provides operators, and allows you to use variables to store and retrieve information. ActionScript includes built-in objects and functions and allows you to create your own objects and functions. For more information on ActionScript, see ActionScript Basics.
