Not to mention that a programmer who knows AS3, Java, and Lisp is
immensely more valuable than one who just knows AS3. It proves you
have the capacity to learn, which is a very marketable trait.
BS.. Doesn't prove a thing..
Someone who *just* knows AS3 may have - scratch that - *has* the capacity to learn any other language, but may never have had the
need to.

A native English speaker, when learning German, will generally remark
"Wow! Because of this feature in German, I now understand English a
little better."
Programming languages are the same way. Learning another
object-oriented language will help you identify how features in
ActionScript work (or don't work). And learning a language from
another paradigm entirely (functional or procedural, probably) will
help you identify weaknesses and strengths of object-oriented
programming.
