@crackerjack.
I find this with everything with many things I have had to learn.
eg. php or tableless layout

Is possible is a nonsense, but my hard critic to AS3 are the interface of the program, very clear, Windows do permission for personalize the colors of the Caption Bars, Background Windows Codes, etc…

Adobe put a interface that for my have a very little contrast and very much white or clear, I like contrast in the development environement, and is impossible to change, this is a stupid implementation, let the user take the decission of wath interface and colors like…!!!

Not impose a interface… Overalls my complaint is based in the stupidity of imposse a interface, nor are necessary, are a complication, much original the interface of adobe, ok, plas plas, but if I not like, why I need to work with your original interface???

Sorry for errors in my wirting, My english is Small…

Good day at all…

AS3 rocks! AS2 doesn’t stand a chance against the posibilities of the as3 engine. Faster, more intelligent and more intuitive. Give it a try if you haven’t already!

When I get CS4 and start learning AS3, you’ll get another erdict aswell :D

I agree with Eriak Bianchi from above. The code editor is the single biggest issue when trying to code at the same speed as you did in AS1/AS2. Flex Builder has got a few tricks up it’s sleeve to assist with that (auto code generation of getters/setters, constants and event listeners) so if the Flash IDE code editor was brought up to speed then a lot of what’s been raised in the initial article would be less relevant.

Personally my biggest wish for version 11 is threading support.

Yeah. I’ve just started learning AS3 for gamedev, and it makes life so much easier. It’s also faster. I can do things in AS3 that would cause major slowdown in AS2. Now, I feel like I can finally make those epic games that I’ve dreamed of (sans the art lol).

I’ve was working with as2 for 4 years and I’ve loved then I’ve found that more and more clients where requesting for as3 apps, so I’ve decided to start my first apps using it, initially I’ve thought that it was so time wasting all the code needed to build things but them I’ve started to build more and more apps, where I was able to use same Packages I’ve built previously, it is true that you need to code a lot for simple things but you can build a simple package which handles what you want and use it everywhere (you’ll need to code less lines than on as2 directly). It is true that as3 has a lot of things to improve like their compiler, but for big apps it has a really improved performance than as2.

While I have accepted my love/hate relationship that I have with ActionScript 3.0, getting to that point took some time.

Like any new product, it takes a bit of tweaking before it can ever reach a more perfect state. Hopefully, those tweaks will be provided sooner rather than later.
