Sorry as2 users, but no one use as2 now, and stop crying, just learn as3, now can use flash develop its free… Nice change.

A lot of us in the business still use As2, because we are working on legacy sites. I’ve worked on projects for several companies as a freelancer and if the company was more than 3 years old, all the existing code was in as2. You can’t expect sites with a million or more users to start over, just because a new generation of code has come out. I like as3, but haven’t had much chance to use it yet.

AMOS was my first programming language, I used that back on my Amiga when I was very young (5).

Personally, I don’t regret learning any of the languages that I’ve learned along the way, that even includes exotic ones that I’m unlikely to use again like Haskell and Prolog.

Metro Siberia Underground or The artillery game

flash element TD

also a tutorial for a flash version of worms and/or a flash version of Age of Empires.

I for one started learning as3 after some time used to as2, the differences are there, and I find as3 quite more robust, powerful and stable, and it makes you program usin opp style and objects which is very important if you want to maintain your code clean and efficient.

I use flashdevelop and flex, Haxe is powerful too but I bit more complex but perfectly compatible with flashplayer 10 (and alchemy). I think Haxe is oriented to the advanced programmer.

I third FlashDevelop, I find that it doesn’t lag like the flash IDE
