The last class we have at the university is called "Web development with Actionscript". So I've been messing around with AS3, Tweener and Papervision3D. And I must say that I'm impressed with what Actionscript has to offer.
Actionscript 3.0 is a major change from 2.0. It finally feels lika a real language. We developers that are used to Java, Javascript, PHP 5, C# will feel at home with Actionscript. It's based on the ECMA standard so it's easy to use and structured.
It takes a while to getting used to event based programming. I guess making flash projects are more like working with a software. But I love it. Finally some creativity into web development, the possibilities are endless.
I love that I have to deal with animation as well as functionality. I've missed doing the designer stuff. I will continue with AS3 even after the university studies.
I'll also post my degree project made in Flex Builder, Papervision3D, Tweener, Actionscript when it's done.
I decided that the best way to learn Actionscript is to force myself to only work with Actionscript. I now have 10 weeks of constant Actionscript programming in front of me.

Nice!!
I should go and experiment with AS 3.0 since my school doesnt pay attention to it...
More possibillities with AS 3.0 than with 2.0, we'll just wait and see what kind of websites/digital media will be produced using this....
http://www.masterbeat.com was just released using AS 3.0 and Flex
created by 2Advanced Studios, you should check that out, it's a nice project..
