Actionscript "can manipulate" DOM... because as1 is quite the same as js.
My personal experience: I'm a flash developer since 2002, I've begun
with Flash 6 (before I was a "classic" programmer, c, clipper and so on).
I appreciated very much when As3 came out because I was freed by that
nightmare of implementing class with prototype, by passing always the
context and so on...
Now, because "I have family", I was forced to learn html+js (and
obviously jQuery) and I'm back into prototypes and context nightmare.
Ok let's say that I feel pretty strong and confortable with them, but
it's a jump of at least 6 years in the past.
However, the REAL NIGHTMARE that I had forgottend since 2002 is that
OBVIOUSLY html+js (also by using jQuery) differs from browser to browser.
jQuery helps a lot, however you have to test your webapp on many
browser and a lot of times what works on one, doesn't on another.
The real bad thing is that also on the language javascript there are
important differences among the browser and you'll learn these only when
they are in front of you.
For example, setTimeout(myFunction, 1000, myParam) won't work on
explorer and you have to write it in this way:
setTimeout(function(){myFunction(myParam)} , 1000);
And this is just an example...
Btw I didn't left Flash, I use it for making Android and iOS apps and it
works very well.
I made 4 apps, free on Android (with advertising banners by using an
ANE) and with fee on Apple Store.
P.S. Sorry for my English, it's not my native tongue.

Make it an EMCA viable script language. Like Actionscript becoming Javascripts
competitor. Make it so Actionscript can control and manipulate DOM.
Just sayin..
THAT would be AWESOME and make me VERY HAPPY.
