Thanks for all your input.
I am going to try and make the migration. Wish me luck.

FlashDevelop - yes, you can code in AS2 - but if you want to compile

means you have to use (well, I should say get to use) Actionscript
3.0.
I'll echo what the others have said, take the plunge with AS 3.0 -
you'll need to switch soon anyway, otherwise you can potentially lose
clients and be stuck using old software. Just take some time to learn
it in your spare time, and you'll soon see why you were losing
efficiency coding in AS 2.0. Ask questions here, like "I used to do
this in AS2, how do I do that in AS3?" - also look at the migration
guides - they will show you how everything changed.

Hi Jason,
Real quick question.
Kind-of based off what you guys are talking about.
I currently work in Flash CS3 in AS2.
I was wanting to try one of the other flash developing programs out
there,
but it seems the new releases of the ones you listed below are more
AS3 geared.
Can I still program in AS2 utilizing any of the programs you listed?
Or am I the last AS2 developer on the planet and just need to get in
line to the AS3 3rd period class?
lol
A nickel for your thoughts.. its hard times out there.
Best,
Karl

Well... yes, but with the Flex SDK as the compiler- not entirely on
their own.
