It already has. Partical effects, bitmap caching and overall player performance is in my view a bit of a "testing the waters" approach.
3D would be a boon, but in terms of FLEX? from what i've been reading in various lists and conversations, FLEX and 3D are like Office and 3D. FLEX is having teething problems in terms of getting a solid developer base to use the product, so many developers out there are scratching their heads as they now shrink wrapped power tool opened and sitting there going..."htf do i put it together, wheres that damn instruction booklet". I've spoken to approx 50-60 new comers to the product through friends, consultanting, general queries via MossyBlog etc.. all consistently come up with the beef... learning ActionScript and MXML together. Most if not all seem very competent in programming (ie know other OOP style languages). Spike and I had a conversation yesterday about the pro's/con's of what a FLEX framework should have - my current framework for flex tends to hand hold developers while they get started, and that's not really a good basis for a framework (which I agree wit spike ...now...bah, damn irishman always has a way to shoot my theories down..heeh) but that being said, its situation that calls for it and in truth may give them the legup to the next level at the very least. So.. throw in 3D? it might be feasible - it could work, but realistically what would be the user base that would use it in Enterprise level companies? ACAD situations are the only ones i can think of - here at work they'd *Probably* use it, but doubtful. Oh..keep in mind, Flash Developers alone have a hard enough amount of trouble using the 2D drawing API that comes with FLASH now... Its just a big ask imho and i'd rather it be in the 'todo pile" for a while longer.
