I didnt say there werent any... but you are not exactly...er... mainstream.
As for your knowing *lots* of people, I suspect, having been around as long as you have, you know *all* of them :) I'm only half kidding here. before AS2 there were not exactly a bunch of people that fit this spec and in such a small community of people they will likely know each other. If you are looking for one of the what I suspect is few hundred people who have your qualifications and then you want to move them to detroit you better be paying at *TON* of money. When you have such narrow requirements, recruiting is a *nightmare*. (This is not just conjecture). The funny thing is I would rather have a guy with 10 years of C++ with some Java and SQL thrown in, and two years of AS2, rather than 4 years of AS. But thats just me.

I have a software developer background (mainly C/C++), was studying CS in university, and am doing Flash development for like six years now (that includes well structured OOP AS1 development). I know a bunch of people that are equally qualified. I honestly don't think they are *that* off with their requirements. They could have put that Detroit (or US/Canada) requirement in the subject though.. ;) (This is my first and last comment re: job postings on this list.
