I usually just put the class name with as3 into google (LocalConnection as3) - it almost always gives me something useful.

I do generally agree that's it's often hard to find anything using Adobe's built in documentation tool - especially using the search field (which is local in CS5). Though you can just type your keyword into Flash's action dialog, or an as document, then click that little ? icon - sometimes pulls it right up (after 17 update dialog boxes maybe).

I don't agree with your conclusions about competitiveness based on that difficulty, but yeah, it could be better.

Hey folks

Every time I do a big search I seem to get a LOT of as2 links and when I add
as3 into the search terms I keep getting links to either a page offering up
a bunch of generic documentation pages (ie not direct links to the class I'm
looking for) or I get class documentation pages that are only half full.
Seriously do a search on the livedocs site for the  flvplayback class, its
shocking especially in light of the fact that there is no longer any local
docs installed with the software any more

What is going on with this? With people (rightly or wrongly) bashing flash
in favour of the yet untried html5 spec, adobe can ill afford this kind of
crap support for the flash platform.

Come on
