I agree with Tommyo.. I has AS1 and AS2 in my hand and built whatever I wanted, then AS3 came along and created so many unnecessary complications from a logic standpoint but after a little bit I realized that they did this in order to unify the platform (Air/Flex/Flash), bring real OOP to Flash and make project management actually good since it was a clusterfuck in previous versions.
My biggest problems were exactly what tommyo says, for those who were great in previous AS the biggest problem is unlearning the wrong way of doing things. I like the fact that now in Flash when you pick AS3 they won't allow you to put code on buttons :)
Some things bother me in AS3, by adding so many steps for a simple thing, but I can freely say that the time I lose there, writing valid code, I gain by utilizing a bunch of prebuilt classes now from various sources that allow you shorten the dev time plus not to mention the awesome XML management that's easy as pie now.
- +1 for agreeing with me. :P
