Hi, does anyone know how/where to download actionscript 3 flash platform full documentation in packed HTML files.

What I want is to have a local copy of the following doc: http://help.adobe.com/en_US/FlashPlatform/reference/actionscript/3/flash/display/Bitmap.html?allClasses=1#bitmapData

We are currently using a local copy of FLASH4 actionscript docs, which is quite out-of-date.

A: 

Local copies are old-school. Time to move to the future (reads "the cloud").

But anyway... This might help: BigSpaceShip's AS3 LangRef AIR app.

A: 

If you have Flash CS3 (or CS4), the documentation is installed along with the IDE.

Accessing help from the IDE (via the menu or F1) brings you to the online docs, but if your internet is down (or you unplug your network cable), it will open a browser pointed to the local copy of the docs it installed. You can then add that URL to your favourites for when you want to use the local copy (much faster than the online docs, IMO).

You will want the ActionScript 3.0 Language and Components Reference

It is found in the Flash Documentation Section of Adobe Site

Provides information on the syntax and usage of supported elements in the ActionScript 3.0 language. Includes appendixes that compare key language and API changes from ActionScript 2.0 to ActionScript 3.0 and descriptions of Flash Player errors and warnings.
