Waddya mean by "not fly"? Leaving off type annotations is legal AS3, but it isn't recommended for serious apps. Without them the compiler can't help you find a lot of programming mistakes, and your app will run slower because all properties and methods have to be looked up in hash tables on dynamic Objects.

It was our initial opinion to proceed with Flex 1.5, but I wanted to get other thoughts on the matter. I am not exactly sure what you mean when you say "type cast". Can you elaborate?
