 Flash games are programmed in ActionScript (with 3.0 being the most recent version), while Defold scripting is done in Lua. This guide will not go into a detailed comparison of Lua and Actionscript 3.0.

Note thought that there are deeper differences in how Defold and Flash are constructed than what is visible at the language level. Actionscript and Flash is object oriented in the classical sense with classes and inheritance. Defold does not have classes, nor inheritance. It includes the concept of a *game object* which can contain audivisual representation, behavior and data. Operations on game objects are done with *functions* available in the Defold APIs. Furthermore, Defold encourages the use of *messages* to communicate between objects. Messages are a higher level construct than method calls and are not intended to be used as such. These differences are important and takes a while to get used to, but will not be covered in detail in this guide.

 Defold works with pixel images as opposed to vector graphics, thus it does not have an equivalent for shape tweening. However, motion tweening has a powerful equivalent in [property animation](/ref/go/#go.animate). This is accomplished via script, using the `go.animate()` function. The go.animate() function tweens a property (such as color, scale, rotation or position) from the starting value to the desired end value, using one of many available easing functions (including custom ones). Where Flash required user implementation of more advanced easing functions, Defold includes [many easing functions](/manuals/animation/#easing) built-into the engine.
