Core Classes and Component Design

Summary

In this chapter, you have completed your knowledge of creating a Flash component by learning how to integrate it with the framework provided by the component architecture.

You should have started to appreciate how much time you can save by inheriting features that are already implemented or, at least, already well defined in the framework. Those features are made available by a number of core components that can be used as base classes whenever creating a new component.

The next chapter will introduce the components that are included in the architecture, grouping them into functional categories.
