    didn't provide a real serious AS2 to AS3 converter

  That's kind of like saying Microsoft didn't supply a C++ to C# converter 
(which I guess they could have..). They're really two different languages. The 
VM2 rendering api was basically re-written. If you start porting as2 to as3 
code, you'll quickly see what i mean. People had so many strange conventions in 
as2, that don't map readily to as3. AS2 is a sub-par environment, so get off 
your butt and learn as3. You'll thank me about this time, next year.

  ;)

    Hi,

    Believe it or not, there are still some people working with AS2. There
    are plenty of perfectly good reasons to do so, the most obvious one
    being developing for limited power devices, ad server platforms which
    mandate older versions, wanting to run on mobile/wii (AFAIK it
    supports AS2 only, although I understand this may have recently
    changed).

    I don't think it's an unreasonable question.

    Perhaps someone would like to do a back port?

          Hi Martin. It's unfortunate that the framework is AS3 only,
          because no free flash player would support it.
          Is there any plan to support older bytecode ?


      What is the relevance of that comment? And what are you referring to by
      "free flash player"? Adobe's Flash player is free and supports AS3.

    Scott,

    Adobe has developped a C++ to As3 converter recently (they make Quake to 
work on FlashPlayer)
    So whynot As2 to As3 ?
