Building Object-Oriented Applications in Flash 5

This will be an attempt to explain what object-oriented programming is, why it is useful, and how it may apply to programs you make in Flash 5. It assumes you are reasonably familiar with actionscript, (or javascript, with an asterisk or two). It will attempt to explain OO programming as a new system, unrelated to 'normal' procedural programming styles. This tutorial will likely be most useful (and least annoying) to either those who have almost no programming experience, or those who have an advanced understanding of OO techniques but are coming from a different language. Inexplicably, it is aimed at all you fine people in the middle.
