ActionScript 3.0

I was looking at AS 2.0 this morning, hanging from it's pretty wooden hanger in my closet. It seems like just yesterday that I brought it home, gleaming white and smelling the way that only a new scripting language could smell. It was so new! So charming! So full of new features! But this morning, it felt... different. I could see some scuffs around the buttonholes, and it's once rigidly starched collar was looking a little limp.

That's when I decided it was time for a new version of ActionScript. It hasn't arrived in the mail yet, but I know it's on it's way, travelling through some foreign lands and making it's way to me.

With sealed classes, runtime exceptions & types, regular expressions, a data type for integers and *gasp* ECMA Script for XML... I might need a bigger closet.
