I am just curious. Does anyone know how to make the effect that you can see at the bottom of this page http://www.swifftools.com/about.cfm?nav=4&sub=1
the Rubber Duck logo. When you mouse over it you can see the effect.
The syntax and 99% of the available methods, functions and classes are exactly the same. There are some movieclip methods missing from SWiSHmax, eg attachmovie and attachsound.
Just go and buy Colin Moock's Actionscript the definitive guide second edition for all the AS you'll ever need to know.
Apart from that, remember that all swishscript needs to be inside an event handler whereas AS sits quite happily on the frame without any kind of obvious wrapper.
The just look at the examples in swishmax and look at what others are doing
