I have more than looked at C#, I have written
several Flash/Flex backends in it. :)
It comes down to this simple undisputable
fact:
.NET
2.0 Runtime == 22.4 MB (20 times
larger than Flash)
Java
1.5 Runtime == 16.0 MB (14 times
larger than Flash)
Flash
Player 8.5 Runtime == 1.12 MB
Flash and Flex have
always targeted a small, lean, no frills runtime so that the player is easily deployed
to end users. It is this file size that enables the player to be distributed to
700 Million end users cross platform and cross device. Given the size
constraints the teams are focused on providing the smallest footprint for
player code with the largest impact for developers.
Maxym, there is
nothing stopping you from writing your own event system in Flex similar to C#.
- FLEX IS FREE –
Flex Framework and Compilers are Free
http://labs.macromedia.com/technologies/flexframework2/
- You can code your
own event model into a class and have it work closer to what C# offers.
Actually when you are
done, post your source so that we can give it a fair and honest review!

Actually it is
hard to imagine that events could get much better than the current design. It
is extensible, customizable, fast, easy to work with, and essentially lean and
mean.
If it’s
hard for you just take a look at C#.

Yeah, I can.
DOM Specification: The first goal is the design of
an event system which allows registration of event listeners and describes
event flow through a tree structure.
TREE STRUCTURE. So can you explain me why Timer extends
EventDispatcher. Can you imagine TREE STRUCTURE of Timers???
For real there are many bad things in this event
model:
1. It's based on string identifiers. Because of
this
a. It's slow
b. You don't know for real types of events that
object can dispatch.
c. You can't use code-inside in editor for access
events.
2. EventDispatcher and IEventDispatcher have too
much extra functionality that will be used only for visual objects.
3. If you want to dispatch events and you can't
extend EventDispatcher you have to duplicate (do you know some AOP concepts)
it's logic (at least one time) and implement IEventDispatcher.
4. I can say more but I'm tired of typing...

Can you be more specific? The event model is
fundamentally part of the
player is an based on the DOM Level 3 Events
specification [1].
