Migrating to Swift from Flash and ActionScript

By Radoslava Leseva Adams and Hristo Lesev

There are estimated more than two million Flash developers worldwide. A lot of them have turned to making mobile applications with the help of Flash-based technologies like Adobe AIR and the ActionScript programming language in the last few years. With the advent of iOS and the decline of Flash, most developers are moving on to using native tools and languages, instead of Adobe AIR. Apple's new programming language, Swift, has evened out the learning curve to getting into native iOS development, especially for programmers versed in ActionScript. Migrating to Swift from Flash and ActionScript provides a quick way for the experienced Flash and ActionScript developer to get started with iOS programming using Swift by building on their current skills and knowledge. The reader is taken through migration on three levels: tools, workflow and programming language with the help of step-by-step illustrated tutorials and recipes for specific situations.
