So the guru Colin Moock published an interesting article about nine problems he sees with ActionScript 3.0 and Flash Player 9. Most of the charges he makes are specific to the Flash CS3 authoring environment, and the general theme is that ActionScript 3.0 and its implementation in Flash CS3 makes the development process more difficult than it should be for users without significant programming backgrounds.
Colin does an excellent job of describing each charge in detail, with code examples. He also spends a lot of time discussing not only what Adobe should do in each case, but also what the Flash developer community should do. If you regularly work in the Flash CS3 environment, I highly recommend this article. There’s less relevant material for Flex and FlexBuilder users, but a couple of the topics may be of interest: “2. Getting rid of loaded .swf files is hard.” and “6. ActionScript 3.0’s additional errors make coding cumbersome.”
I’d like to encourage you to read his article and let me know what you think!
