And I agree, though the new Timer Class will be very powerful I think they shouldn’t make setTimeout deprecated as it is smaller and cleaner in many situations.

The only problem with 8.5 as I see is that it’s so much more awkward and longwinded to include classes for things which you never used to – trace being a prime example. I love AS3 but it’s really alienated less programming-savvy designer-developers, AS2 was a big enough leap. I’m hoping that the new Flash ‘Blaze’ IDE has some easy to use ‘helpers’ for those folk.
