Conventions used

There are a number of text conventions used throughout this book.

Code in text: Indicates code words in text, database table names, folder names, filenames, file extensions, pathnames, dummy URLs, user input, and Twitter handles. Here is an example: “Locate the PondSign.png image files within your filesystem and drag each into the appropriate scene.”

A block of code is set as follows:

private function photoSelected(e:Event):void {
    var selectedPhoto:File = photos[e.target.selectedIndex];
    PhotoViewer.source = selectedPhoto.url;
}

Bold: Indicates a new term, an important word, or words that you see onscreen. For example, words in menus or dialog boxes appear in the text like this. Here is an example: “Select More Settings from the Properties panel.”
