Did adobe really advance the state of the art with flash though? they did stuff that the community was screaming for and had been for a long time. It was often buggy too.
CreteJS is very nice, and it's only just started so I expect it to get better. For the web I've already done a couple of things with Haxe using the externs for CreateJS that compile to flash and canvas using exensively the same code. Just have a class to manage the creation of assets which has the different code required for Containers/Sprites and the differences in handling text. Then your logic stays the same for both targets, you can even use TimelineMax seamlessly on those assets. It's a very nice way to work and you get to cover IE6/7 etc. with flash and the iOS/android/devices with canvas. Anyway Adobe have killed flash if flash is dead. They hndled the conflict with Apple in the worst way possible and the negative publicity created just snowballed to the point where the lesser technology won out. That's a shit state of affairs in anyone's books. I echo though the transferable skills from AS3. I started ages ago getting in to Haxe and that experience is now opening doors for me to start messing with other languages too.
