I'm not sure prototyping can be done in as 3.0 since it does introduce sealed classes and such and is pretty strict oop as far as i can tell. But perhaps I've overlooked something, it would definetely be a nice thing, I like prototyping as well.

I really like OOP, like Javascript style prototyping and look forward to use a combination of both in AS3. Having said that, I really was not impressed with AS2.0, mostly because of some of it's bugs that made it work in odd ways (mostly related to scoping issues, which are only partially solved with the Delegate Class). So for me I usually prefer either AS1.0, or (I imagine, since I haven't gotten around to it yet) AS 3.0. It's nice not to be locked into either OOP, or procedural, or typed or untyped. It seems like AS 3.0 will let me do the one I want to at the moment (without being buggy like AS 2.0). :-) Kevin N.
