Well MTASC is open source, so there's no reason why someone else can't make a version that does compile AS3. But I have to agree with you Claus, this is very disappointing.
This is a drastic difference from the original mission of MTASC in keeping as compliant to the ActionScript that Macromedia makes and the one that MTASC compiles as possible. Austin also makes a good point that now people will not be able to have the choice to compile with one versus the other. Clients are not going to like that. What if MTASC changes their mind again? This is very problematic. The good news is some other smart people can put together an open source AS3 compiler themselves. -Chris -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Claus Wahlers Sent: Friday, October 21, 2005 6:55 PM To: Open Source Flash Mailing List Subject: Re: [osflash] MTASC Future > As announced at OFLA today MTASC will unlikely support ActionScript3. > The reason is quite simple.
