Just to fix what I said previously ;-) The slides were a bit outdated. Since EcmaScript 3.1 (Javascript++) killed EcmaScript4 (=ActionScript3) at Oslo summit ( http://ejohn.org/blog/ecmascript-harmony/, http://www.mikechambers.com/blog/2008/08/14/actionscript-3-and-ecmascript-4/), what I said about an unified Javascript 2 and ActionScript 3 is not really possible any more. Sorry for the mistake.
Anyway, feedbacks about OpenLayers AS3 port are still welcomed ! I would also be interested to know if you have began to think about an EcmaScript 3.1 version of OpenLayers.
