ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

AS3 (networking)

AS3 networking is like playing with other kids at the playground. Imagine you and your friends are all on different parts of the playground and you want to talk or play with them. You can't just shout at them and expect them to hear you. You need to come up with a plan to communicate with them effectively.

AS3 networking works the same way. It helps your computer to communicate with other computers over the internet. With AS3 networking, you can send and receive information and data from other computers, just like you and your friends sharing toys or playing together.

To make this happen, AS3 networking uses different protocols or rules that ensure that the computers can talk to each other properly without any issues. Some of these protocols include HTTP, TCP/IP, and FTP. Each protocol has specific rules that computers have to follow to ensure that they can communicate with each other correctly.

For example, imagine you want to send a picture to your friend on the playground. You'd have to take the picture, put it in an envelope, and then give it to your friend. Similarly, when you want to send data through AS3 networking, it has to be packaged properly according to the appropriate protocol.

So, just like playing on the playground, AS3 networking is all about communicating with other computers in a way that everyone understands- making it easier to share and transfer data effortlessly.
