Hi: We started a rather large poker game program in Open Laszlo. The show-stopper for us that lead us to Flex2 was the lack of AS3 support. I haven't looked at Open Laszlo in a while but at the time it only supported AS2.0 and didn't support binary sockets which we definitely needed to support our custom game protocols. Flex2 also has a far richer set of components and I believe it's flat out faster. (No proof just gut feeling and trial and error) We thought the fact that it (O-Laszlo) was free was attractive but since MM is putting out these Betas for free we just thought we'd climb on board. I wouldn't waste valuable development time by checking out both platforms in detail. Just go with Flex2. Heck, when it's out it will only be about $1K. Definitely worth it. BTW: We're a bunch of Python, C++ guys and we're not good at the 'ol Flash timeline. This definitely fills the bill for our rich client-side programming requests. Cheers, Dave Cook President/CEO Smooth Software Inc.
