Alias, All points taken and I do agree with you. I think that my comments have been taken out of context.
This thread started off with Hans asking about rewriting/updating his game. Some suggested that he move it to AS 3.0. Thus I wrote the below comment. Meaning that in my opinion one should not start developing a full on project in an ALPHA framework/language. If he started the project in AS 2.0 then it would not be a huge leep to update it to AS 3.0 when it was finally released.

Assuming he wants to take advantage of where the new framework is going, it would only make sense that he track AS 3.0 and build his project is 2.0 so that it would convert/update easily. > With that said I would suggest using AS 2.0 to build you new game arch. > but > > keep an eye on 3.0 so you are aware of where things are going.
