Voice
This book is the combined effort of five authors. While every effort
has been made to ensure uniformity, some differences in voice,
writing style, and coding style are inevitable. In places,
"we" refers to the collective
authors, such as in, "We hope you enjoy this
book." In other places,
"we" refers to the reader and the
author together, such as in, "We'll
see how to create a chat application shortly." In
places, the author uses first-person singular, such as in,
"When I test the speed of the Internet connection at
my house, it isn't as fast as my computer at
work."
This book also follows the O'Reilly convention of
alternating gender occasionally throughout the chapters.
"He,"
"her," and "the
user" generally refer to the human participant
interacting with a Flash-based UI to access a FlashCom application.
The term "client" usually refers to
the Flash Player running in a desktop PC's browser.
Exceptions are noted when applicable.
