Well, I guess prototype may not exactly depreciated per se, but inheritance is prefered - prototype is an alternative, supporting previous versions of actionscript. http://livedocs.adobe.com/labs/as3preview/langref/Object.html "Note: In ActionScript 3.0, prototype inheritance is not the primary mechanism for inheritance. Class inheritance, which drives the inheritance of fixed properties in class definitions, is the primary inheritance mechanism in ActionScript 3.0."
