Conventions

In this book, you will find a number of styles of text that distinguish between different kinds of information. Here are some examples of these styles, and an explanation of their meaning.

Code words in text are shown as follows: "All we have to do is pass it an argument of type graph.GraphObject."

A block of code is set as follows:

for (var key:String in decodedJSON)
{
graphObject[key] = decodedJSON[key];
}

When I wish to draw your attention to a particular part of a code block, the relevant lines or items are set in bold:

if (decodedJSON.data)
{
//has a "data" property so we assume it is a Graph List
var graphList:GraphList = new GraphList();
}

New terms and important words are shown in bold. Words that you see on the screen, in menus or dialog boxes for example, appear in the text like this: "Compile and run your SWF, then expand the Connections box and click on posts".
