I guess I'm just wondering whether he even read the earlier responses. Compile-time type checking clearly makes this a good decision for medium to large-sized projects. As soon as you start dealing with dynamic types (Object and MovieClip), you're asking for trouble. I know, because I've been there. Everyone makes typos here and there, and when that typo doesn't generate compiler errors, it becomes a bug instead.
This is not OOP fanatisism talking. It's experience. I understand that ActionStep, being a dynamic language, shouldn't be treated as if it is Java...but as far as type-checking goes, I'm going to take as much of it as I can get.

C'mom guys, lets make a choice here: 1)keep it professional, 2)take it off-list, or 3) end it. I'm not the first to request that. A simple "I disagree with your statement" should suffice. Why would it not? We were getting into some good stuff for a second there, before the all the 6th grade name calling began.
