For sure I am interesting in HaXe and improving my scripting abilities. I don't point blame at the dev teams at Adobe for not dumbing down the language to suit me, I like the complicity as it allows for more expansion and possibilities. I don't like the slow reaction at fixing bugs (the textfield inline image issue is one that I don't understand why it hasn't been fixed but I understand the complicity of it!) The Flash IDE is for those not competent at scripting - how can you expect to create complex efficient interactive multimedia experiences without learning how to do it.</p><p>I compare making as3 more friendly to beginners as letting flase == false; Yeah good idea to except typos! :) (I do that all the time with my finger latency).</p><p>I do feel for Lee Brimelow and Mesh, being important public faces to the company is hard. Passion is passion. I have been in the position (swishzone) where products I was responsible for having issues or not being able to do what or how a customer does things! It is the worst way to stay a day dealing with grumbles.</p><p>For the future of as3 the small percent of people truly pushing the agenda are worth listening to, even if they feel incensed! I am sure Adobe's people are listening but lets be realistic about how and if Adobe can action these changes within a business model. Patience and lets keep this up!</p><p>Peace</p><p>Elliot</p>elliotrockSat, 08 Aug 2009 23:23:16 -0000
