Cool. Good to know I'm not way off base here. After reading Colin's The Charges Against Actionscript 3.0<http://www.insideria.com/2008/07/the-charges-against-actionscri.html>article I realized there are some arguably distasteful things about it. I'm still getting my as3 dev speed back to where it was in as2 so I've yet to try and perfect common practices aside from building on the GoAsap engine.
