I used flash for a while, a long time ago. I enjoyed it while it lasted, but I haven't got to use AS3. This highly-hyped java-like language wasn't a good fit for me, lots of flaws. I'm starting to play with flash again, indirectly, through haXe. I will never, ever focus my time on proprietary sh*t.
By the way, haXe is amazing :) Marcelo. On Wed, Dec 28, 2011 at 5:43 PM, jamesfin <james.alan.finni...@gmail.com>wrote: > ** > > > As a devoted Flex Developer, Flex has been very, very good to me.
