In addition, I’ll give you a couple options for how to get around any errors you may encounter when you need to “hack” up and down the hierarchy. Under most circumstances, I don’t recommend them, but I believe that there’s nothing wrong with knowing what you’re not supposed to do.
Let me begin with a recommendation. If you’re just starting with AS3, and you’re a little frustrated with the extra work these language changes make you do, please consider taking a short time to learn a little object-oriented programming principles and how to do things properly. Why? Well, some important benefits come from coding through best practices. First, it’s easier to catch bugs because the compiler is much smarter than it used to be. Silly mistakes that might go unnoticed in AS2 will be caught immediately in AS3. Second, your code will run many times faster because the compiler makes special optimizations with well-written code.
