Thanks for the feedback, Jason. I've cc'd our documentation manager
Randy Nielson so that he's aware of your frustration. Perhaps he's aware
of some migration docs that can help you.

 

The transition from AS1 and AS2 to AS3 is certainly non-trival, but of
course it has affected Flash developers as well as Flex ones since both
products have moved to AS3.

"This may seem like a major restriction, but we had no problem writing
all the Flex components with this event model."

And I am sure that most of the Adobe people who wrote the components
had training to use such methodology either in AS3 or other languages.

Being newer to this structure, I find little documentation or basic
examples for this. While at the same time, I do question if having to
write a couple of pages worth of code just to pass an argument is
progress.

Maybe it is better for certain enterprise level design. Maybe it's
better coding. But I think Adobe needs to do a better job helping
individuals transition such a change. 

And I am not the only one, I am hearing this from a number of friends
of mine. That said, I really like Adobe Flex. But I think Adobe
could make it a bit easier for it's older Flash developers to migrate
to. I really feel as if Adobe is catering to Java developers. And is
not doing as much to bring those developers who have mostly programmed
in AS1/AS2.
