    i'll admit, adobe pretty much pulled the carpet out from under a lot of design-oriented developers and that the tool they'd become accustomed to drastically changed without their consent.

    i think they should have split flash into two seperate products (which they kind of did, with flash and flex, so perhaps three then), but one version of flash being true to the classic workflows and feature it provided, with the other dedicated to programmatic-type development.

    what's funny is that several developers out there (myself included, i guess) still aren't content with flash's slow evolution into a true oo-language/technology. it's still lacking a lot under the hood, and it's still slow performance-wise.

    • CyBrain, you might want to do a little research on garbage collection. RAM use shouldn't be more with AS3, you're mostmathinc
    • likely not being diligent with ending processes. Pain in the ass though.mathinc
