title: Any Resources for Pure Actionscript 3 Games?
body: <p>What resources (books or website/tutorials) are available, that cover game development using <em>pure</em> Actionscript 3 code? By pure, I mean <em>not</em> using Flash CS4 and its timeline, and <em>not</em> using Flex MXML components. Everything done using only Actionscript code.</p>
  
  <p>In another question, I asked about using certain objects of the Flex SDK for simple games, and the consensus was that I shouldn't use it <em>at all</em>, but only Actionscript for a game. Sounds reasonable, but the books/website tutorials that I have found on the subject of games, all use AS3 in the context of Flash CS4. They assume your objects will be movieclips, with timelines, etc.</p>
  
  <p>I realize that you can learn game programming from books in other languages, and/or ignore the Flash aspect of AS3 books. I guess what I'm looking for, is whatever information is specific to AS3, such as best practices for AS3-only games, how to make architectural/design decisions, etc. If it exists, anyway :)</p>
