The other day working late and trying to fix some ActionScript error, I got the idea of starting a Twitter Hashtag (#aserror) for this kind of errors and bugs that If you try to solve on your own it may take some time ( even using Google or the Beta of ActionScripit Errors wich is very good by the way ) and with a close deadline losing half an hour tracking those errors may be relly significant.
So my toughs went to twitter where a bast community of Flash users share and help each other, it’s the perfect place to get some aid on a more personal level and get out fast of those ActionScript Errors that may have you stuck in sometimes common troubles.
Hope it helps someone i’ll start using the #aserror hashtag and the number describing the Error and the solution ( hack ?) that got me out of there.
And hope to get some more free time to also post some examples and tests of how to recreate those errors and solve them here on my blog.
Well I relly hope to get that little snowball rolling and see the rest of the community that’s alredy on Twitter start using the #aserror tag to help each other out.
I almost forgot…. I’m @swfgeek on Twitter in case anyone wants to follow my rambligs :)

The ActionScript 3 migration cookbook beta provides a quick introduction to migrating to ActionScript 3 from ActionScript 2. It is targeted at designers and developers who have some experience scripting content within Adobe Flash CS4 Professional. It does not require an understanding of object-oriented programming.
