Kinda.

Not really.

I was just reading an older post here about the lack of AS3 to AS2/1 communications. which is an issue for me at the moment. The inability to link an F8 swf to the parent F9 movie in a sensible way means I have to spend a lot of time on setting up F8 assets for AS3. Most designers are never going to learn even basic AS3.

I wish Adobe created AS2.75 which looks the same as AS3 but is more relaxed like AS2, eg, if you forget to add an Event argument to your EnterFrame function, it does it for you and doesn’t give an error. So much time is wasted correcting basic errors which AS2 never worried about. Then people in an agency world could get some or most of the performance improvements, learn the principles and still deliver the project in a rush

It leads to learning Flex, just like marijuana leads to heroin. It’s a gateway syntax.

Flash/Flex/RIAs/C# or whatever, it only moves forward. Keep up and you are valuable, rest on your heels and you add a expiration date to your skill set.
