I said the opposite, even tough the syntax may change, the logic remains. And flash, be it AS1 AS2 or AS3 differs in logic from all the languages you just said, I work in an environment with lot's of different programmers in many languages from C# to Java and even assembler. And it always takes THEM time to adapt to flash, because of timeline and VISUAL objects.
Even though AS3 will bring a much more strict language and with a 'very' different syntax, the LOGIC will remain the same :-) you will perform things in the same way from a LOGIC point of view. -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of zwetan Sent: sexta-feira, 21 de Outubro de 2005 16:52 To: 'Flashcoders mailing list' Subject: RE: [Flashcoders] Learn AS2 or AS3? > > Not really, if you use AS2 in all it's strictness and to it's full extent, > classes and properly it's not a big change in the logic itself, only a > little change in the syntax. > I don't agree at all, between AS2 and AS3 there has been a big change and I'm not talking about syntax here you can code all good as you want in AS2, go into Java or C#, even if syntax is very close you will see it's a totally different world compare JScript.NET / JS2 (Epimetheus) / AS2 / AS3 they are all based on ECMAScript v4 and so look-alike but they are indeed very different from one another and you know it's very easy to test, take a single class (not just 3 lines and 3 methods), try to write it in a way that it can compile without modification in AS2 and AS3 (if you're really hardcore try the same exercize for all 4 languages based on ES4) if you don't end up using pre-processor I can already bet that you gonna think twice about what you just said about language being the same due to their similar syntax :) zwetan _______________________________________________ Flashcoders mailing list [email protected] http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders _______________________________________________ Flashcoders mailing list [email protected] http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
