Add some to that list:
As2 currently compiles down to As1, I assume this is NOT the case with
AS3, therefore to take advantage of the speed increases that player 8.5
offers, you have to develop in AS3?
Flash's USP as far as I'm concerned is it's very easy to pick and and
develop/design with...with the new AS3 model (import the class you need,
event based DOM etc.) are we going to frighten away the des/dev who just
want to write stuff like....
[as]
My_btn.onPress=function(){
//Do funky stuff
}
[/as]
But still wants to benefit from the speed improvements...?
I'm keeping up with MM (just) but I'm worried they're going to alienate
a large part of there user base. Sure they can use the old VM....but who
wants to use old tech? When the new one is spangly and fast....I'm
really not looking forward to explaining event bubbling to a designer
who just wants a button press to fire off a function.
Which leads to my second worry - the flash 9 IDE - is this going to
branch completely now into Design/Dev/Enterprise?
I can't see you're average designer programming in AS3 in the near
future.
(No trust me, 8 lines of code instead of 3 is miles better.....it's not
tracing?....Did you import the trace classes?......etc.)
Cheers
MM
