: () oh AS2 sure was a big risky swamp. Of course AS3 is better in the long run, but it’s so damn lexical. It’s like opening a Bible where you have to remember every parapgraph, I prefer a more dynamic – LEGO-style method where I can build what I need with a handful of nuts and bolts, so to speak.
You see I had proof tools developed for all the strange business that was going on in AS2, so they we’re not a problem. So I could concentrate on the creative part.
I just miss the free spirit of it : )
cheers!!!

But as I said – pages like this makes it a little easier.

@Lasse Hall AS2 had a few well hidden secrets to. If you have been doing OOP than you must have used Delegates that is not that straightforward to use. AS3 has its quirks but it's really more powerfull when you get used to it. No more searching 3 hours for the bug that makes your application fail silently.
