I was just looking at the AS2 to AS3 migration language reference (http://livedocs.macromedia.com/labs/1/flex/langref/migration.html) and I have a couple of important questions.

1. A lot of things have change and moved in AS3. Will my flash app have to be converted to compile to AS3? 2. Will there be some sort of way to have a V2 AS2 component run inside a AS3 app? Or will old functions be deprecated or completely removed?

Is it safe to say that our apps will require major conversion to work with AS3? Or possibly written from the ground up?

This is understandably a huge step to take if you want to compete and make the AS3 / AVM3 engine a competitor to C# and others and I can see why it *has* to be done but I want to know if it is as huge a step as I think it is (completely rewrite my apps). Yes? If so can this be the last major AS change? Can you do whatever it is you need to do in this release rather than making a change in the future. I feel if that is the case to not hold off now (like adding reflection) if later on it will cost us developers, type of thing.

Best Regards,
Judah Frangipane
