By kirupa | 4 January 2006 When you write code in Flash, you launch the Actions panel and start writing your statements. You don't think about how the Actions panel retrieves the data, how Flash compiles your code into an SWF, or how memory is managed internally by the Flash application.
Such information is not directly relevant to whatever program you are writing. But, wouldn't your task be more complicated if you did have to figure out how all of those pieces worked in order to code in Flash? Hiding those unnecessary details is known by a scary term - abstraction. Abstract Data Types (ADT's) work similarly. The String data type comes built-in with Flash, and it allows for you to use and manipulate text-based data. . [ the foo object, because it is a String, allows you to access the String's methods ] Whoever wrote the String class took care of the details so you do not have to worry about them.
