Well remember what happened to AS1 when AS2 went out ? AS1 bad practice this, bad practice that, etc... For me AS2 has a future only like that: 1) use of preprocessor #ifdef AS2 //do it the AS2 way #elif AS3 //do it the AS3 way #endif If you got fair amount of AS2 class, It can allow you right now to port them for AS3 and reusing part of their code but not all the code note: for things like attachmovie etc. well be carefull also that what's AS3 do with Flex2 could be do in different way in AS3 in Flash 9 IDE MXML in flex2 ??? in Flash 9 IDE ??? could be anything as the flash IDE being able to use MXML, implement interop to be able to use attachmovie With AS3, etc.. 2) Flash IDE compilation option -> Compile as AS2 The same option that people had in Flash MX 2004 -> compile as AS1 But you could at the same time take advantage of new Flash 7 features/API In brief backward compatible in syntax and forward compatible in features/API zwetan _______________________________________________ Flashcoders mailing list [email protected] http://chattyfig.figleaf.com/mailman/listinfo/flashcoders
