i would say it's important.
but probably more to have access to the new languages' capabilities more than needing their structure (though class-based work will really save you time and teach you about efficiency and detail in the long run).but really it's up to what you do and how it comes out. no one really sees your code, just what it does.

It's in Alpha stage:
- imakedesign0
supports as3.0

Installing Flex 2 also installs flash 8.5 player

The Macrodobe player 11 will replace previous Flash players and Flash will now be called "Voyeur". You heard it here first!

you can skip AS2 but this is more if you are a developer if you just do basic gotoAndPlay commands you are ok with AS1-2

ok, so yeah 5000 is really chugging in the browser. here are two super simple examples i(i just started working through some flex tutorials today--you can be sure i'll be playing with this shit til all hours for the next few weeks)

yeah, just today i was using it and thought i'd test out the new flash VM that they've used for the player.
all i can say is...
i drew 5,000 objects on the stage and bounced them around the screen without too much slowdown.
insane

- shplashtik0
yeah that would be sweeet.

I haven't even started learning 2.0. Could I jump right into 3.0 or should I learn 2 first?
- shplashtik0
you didn't make those just in flex right?
- moook0
the 8.5 alpha is pretty damn fast but i hear the beta is almost ready and they've already increased the speed 10 times faster than the alpha.
sweeeeeeet.

I was in a meeting with macromedia people a month or so ago and they said flash 8.5 will be out early next year. Maybe mid-Feb. Guess they need to get the profit from flash 8 before they charge us again for 8.5. what you guys think of that?

Thats a cool demo but I think it would make you crazy if you stared at it.
- enjine0
yeah they're made in flex--- flex Builder 2 as an ActionScript Project. I don't really ever use anything other than code in my flash files so i'm pretty used to it anyway.

I didn't know you could do stuff like that in Flex.
