I knew ActionScript and ActionScript2 inside out, but I’ve been away from Flash for a couple years. What’s the magnitude of becoming fluent in ActionScript3 and the new Flash functionality? From Colin Moock’s blog, I heard that some of the fundamental movieclip methods have changed…
You’ve probably already seen the as2 -> as3 migration doc?
Sure, some syntax has changed but if you know as2 well writing as3 won’t be a problem at all. Some weird things may come up in the beginning with the syntax, but that’s just checking the documentation for the new way of doing it. If you’re hacking yourself through as1 & as2, as3 may cause some headaches since it’s much stricter (doesn’t allow you to do stuff you shouldn’t do anyway) 😉
You’ll probably be fine with as3 in less than a week.
