I’m new to Flash development so please forgive the simplicity of this question…
I’m developing a simple Flash animation using Flash Professional CS5 and I’m writing some ActionScript code. I noticed there’s a choice between using different versions of ActionScript.
Wondering what the key differences are between 2.0 and 3.0…?
If your new to the language, go with the latest version. The chances of running across a browser with an outdated player are very small, and the standard embed pattern will notify the user anyway. There are way too many differences to list, but AS3 was, to me, a huge upgrade, in both the language and the player. There is simply no good reason to write anything in AS2. JMHO.
