in august 2008, the work on ecmascript 4 by the ecmascript committee was
officially halted. see:
https://mail.mozilla.org/pipermail/es-discuss/2008-August/006837.html
http://www.mikechambers.com/blog/2008/08/14/actionscript-3-and-ecmascript-4/
as adobe is no longer bound to ecmascript, both the current and aborted
ecmascript specs may well not have any bearing on actionscript's future.
the thing i liked most about ecmascript 4 was community transparency in
the language design process. sadly, that transparency appears to have
been lost for now. i lobby for it every chance i get. to anyone else who
wants to see it return, it might help to post a comment on mike's blog
(above).

I think we have at least one ECMA Script committee member on the

chime in and tell us what he's allowed to say :-)

Thanks Kerry - yeah, I have seen that Moock article, but I'm
looking for something more recent.

Anyone heard or know anything about Actionscript 4? I know I can
look at the latest ECMA specs to get an idea of what may be
coming, but I'm curious about what Adobe's doing and when.

Colin Moock talked about it at FIT in Amsterdam, in 2008. A bit
dated, but there are some tantalizing tidbits:

Or, if you want it straight from the horse's mouth, here's a
40-page pdf, also a couple of years old:
