>>I hate to say it, but AS3 is kind of dying. It's the platform that is taking the big hit (Flash player) therefore AS3 is decreasing in use because the platform is decreasing in use. It's not because AS3 lost favorability, the player did.

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 C++whole new programming paradigm.
