DESCRIPTION: Dice bag was one of my first experiments with Action Script 3. I thought building something that was interactive and had several parts to it would help me understand the differences between AS2 and AS3. Since dice have a set of known interactions, I could put aside interactive design and focus on programing. Sometimes it is nice to not be concerned with user interface when you have to program.
