It is indeed FUD. Reality is that what we have done with AS3 is lock into an ECMA standard. We have co-written AS3 along with other members of the technical committee, including Microsoft, Mozilla, etc. So, for better or for worse the evolution of AS is now defined by the ECMA committee. You will see another version of it when Firefox releases a browser with "JavaScript 2" next year. That is the same thing now as AS3. You can look at what is still planned for the standard (which should be approved in a year) and you will be able to see a bunch of features that will make it into the next versions of AS. So you have both a roadmap for AS as well as knowledge that the evolution is now pretty controlled. We made a big leap with AS3, but we did that to meet the standard, not to create a new proprietary language. -David _______________________________________________ osflash mailing list [email protected] http://osflash.org/mailman/listinfo/osflash_osflash.org
