Chapter 20. ActionScript Language Reference

All entries in the Language Reference are alphabetized. For example, the global function duplicateMovieClip( ) is listed after the Date class (not, say, in a separate "Global Functions" section). However, each entry title clearly indicates the type of item being described so that there can be no confusion between overlapping items. For example, duplicateMovieClip( ) comes in both global function and movie clip method form, so you'll find it listed as both duplicateMovieClip( ) Global Function and MovieClip.duplicateMovieClip( ) Method. If you're unsure of where to find an item, consult the index at the back of the book.
