And don't take my words for that, read the AS3 documentation, Read the ECMAScript 4 proposal, do some search on google about Prototype-base object-based languages Read it yourself and make your own opinion zwetan _______________________________________________ Flashcoders mailing list [email protected] http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
