If you're familiar with the ActionScript 3.0 Language Reference, you will undoubtedly know that it's a good source for looking things up about ActionScript. It's an extensive and handy reference manual for the API's for Flash Player and Adobe Air.
Papervision3D also provides documentation. If you have downloaded the source code through SVN, you can find it inside the papervision3d_source | docs folder. Opening index.html
gives you an overview of all the packages and classes.
In case you didn't choose to work with SVN, there is also an online version of the documentation. You can find it here: http://docs.pv3d.org/.
Note
The address of the online documentation may vary over time. If the address above is not valid, please visit the errata page that accompanies this book.
You can use documentation to look up how to use methods and properties, along with event handlers and listeners. It's a good idea to add either of the index.html
pages as a bookmark in your browser. That way you always have easy access to the documentation. Keep in mind though that many open source projects are a constant work in progress. This may result in incomplete documentation and a lack of sample code.
