I have been reading up a bit on actionscript and have noticed that with actionscript 3 it seems to be developed so one can work without the flash interface.
I notice that sprites are being used now instead of movieclips, does this mean that using the timeline is a bad habit to keep ?
if im not mistaken, the way things should be done are:
1. build an .fla file with a layer called actions
2. in the layer actions, import .as files to be used and define all actionscript for the whole flash movie
3. create objects and give them usefull names.
4. in the actions layer, use the created objects methods by calling functions on certain events like mouse over, mouse release etc..
