The community agrees (except me).

The community agrees (me too!).
Oh to be Colin Moock. It must be nice to do a 180 and get the full support of the community both times. You only got my support once though, buddy. Welcome back, we've missed you.

lol caught! and only 6 months apart..
and you're always recommending Moock's book
personally, i find authoring in as3 much easier because it's more logical and consistent. non-programmers seem to hate it though. i could see how switching from as2 to as3 could be a bit daunting if you don't have solid programming experience. there are some things i miss in as2 but there's way more that i'm happy to never deal with again. there are some serious issues with as3 but none that make me want to go back to the nightmare that is as2.
