I don't think there is going to be an AS4. The ECMA Script committee was working on a new standard at one point, but they disbanded 2-3 years ago without issuing a standard for ECMA Script 4.
Adobe have been adding capabilities, such as sort, and I expect they will continue to add capabilities. They might even call a new release ActionScript 4, but it won't meet any ECMA standard. I don't think that's necessarily a bad thing. AS3 is a mature, robust language that has most of the features found in Java, JavaScript, and even C++. To go much beyond what they already have, it would almost mean a whole new programming paradigm.
