I think some of you are looking for quick solutions for complex problems. Maybe you should think about doing ink based work, it's pretty straightforward work.
Some of you who are complaining about the switch to AS3 need to realize that the language needed to evolve, and so do you. I'd just get on with it and learn the damn thing. I have a lot more fun coding for AS3 than for AS2.
The other thing is this, and make no mistake this is a message from the few of us who are encouraging you to learn AS3 to the lot of you bitching about how Adobe screwed up your profession... We hated when we had to work on your files. Asinine workarounds that make anyone with a half way decent understanding of the technology scratch their heads. Navigation setups that are so static and timeline based that it takes an hour to add a button. We HATE working on your files. So get a grip and either learn it or sling ink.
It really isn't that hard of a language to learn, it does however have a very very steep learning curve. Especially for us designers who have turned into developers, it's really hard. But just stick with it, get some mentors who have patience and power through it. Also, there is such a large community of AS developers you can get answers to things in minutes.
- hahaha "it takes an hour to add a button"...thats was most of 2004 for me :), lol..my files, too..mikotondria3
- haha me too. I was there once believe me. It's a pain in the ass to learn to do it right, but it's rewarding in the end.mathinc
