I guess we'll have to wait and see what they come up with in F9. And if I have to guess some more, I think the initial intention was to have this in F8 (or part of it). Remember that screenshot of the Flash 8 IDE that had 'ActionScript 3' in it somewhere? Someone from MM (Mike Chambers??) then said it was an error in the (beta) IDE.
Somewhere along the line they decided to not go that route and wait for F9 to implement AS3 stuff. Anyways, I was kinda disappointed with F8, but Flex 2 makes it all good again (and then some more)..
