onClipEvent?

I am doing my best to learn AS3 right now. It’s not as difficult as people say, but I’m having trouble finding resources other than gotoAndPlay.

I was wondering though, since I’ve started learning, I’ve always used codes such as onLoad() as opposed to onClipEvent(Load)

Is there some kind of difference between these two, or is this simply good programming practices?

neither of those are as3.

AS3 is:

addEventListener(Event.ADDED (or ADDED_TO_STAGE), callback);

Would anyone mind recommending me a tutorial? Because I’ve never even heard of that.
edit Any great tutorials would be nice, but I’ve found one that explains the EventListener function.
Thanks for giving me a reason to look it up.

http://livedocs.adobe.com/flex/3/html/help.html?content=Part6_ProgAS_1.html just use the programming as3 section the rest is for flex which varies a bit from flash.

It is best to begin with as2.

onLoad() is in a frame and onClipEvent(load) is in a movieclip.
