ActionScript

ActionScript is a scripting language used primarily for the development of websites and software using the Adobe Flash Player platform but is also used in some database applications. Originally developed by Macromedia, the language is now owned by Adobe, which continues its development. ActionScript was initially designed for controlling simple 2D vector animations made in Adobe Flash (formerly Macromedia Flash). Later versions added functionality allowing for the creation of Web-based games and rich Internet applications with streaming media (such as video and audio).
