That's a bit dismissive of JS, considering I am sitting here integrating my own Flash stuff with SWFAddress and the browser whilst also making JWPlayer talk to my Flash instances too...

Sadly standards are often driven by the people with the biggest user bases, so unless we cause problems for Adobe over this, stuff may not happen. On a positive note though, people power often works - consider the "Adobe Make Some Noise" campaign. I think they are more willing to listen and the Flash community is certainly quite vocal. I would love to see Silverlight developers kicking MS butt in a few years :)

I think the Adobe link says AS3 will not be dropped -- it is a bit hard to
parse though : ). Javascript dropped the ball about 5 years ago anyway, so
let it stick to roll over buttons.

Subject: [osflash] ES4 Dropped

Hi list,

As you maybe know, work on ECMAScript4, which was the future standard on
which Adobe was putting efforts in (in order not to have AS3 being called a
"proprietary language"), has been dropped.

A few links on the subject :
