What you need for this book

To develop and compile the example code in this book, you will need an AS3 compiler. Sample projects are provided for use with Flash Professional (CS3 and above), Flash Builder, and the free FlashDevelop IDE (with the Flex SDK); if you use a different workflow you will be able to convert these to fit your tools.

You'll also need previous experience with AS3 class-based coding and a Facebook account. The exact requirements here, along with what to do if you don't meet them, are detailed in Chapter 1.
