The Differences between ActionScript 2 and ActionScript 3
(according to Flash Brighton)
as3.0 is like a strict german mistress. Very harsh but gets good results.
as2.0 is your stoner friend from college.
as1.0 is for script-kiddies, designers and other non-technical people
as2.0 is for girls
as3.0 is for real men
as3.0 is carefully crafted formulaic pop – predictable, slick, reliable, dull
as2.0 is glitchy electronica – some semblance of form, but playful with it
as1.0 is a child bashing saucepans – imprecise, messy, but lots of fun
Tweetas3.0 is a Japanese Chef’s knife. Finely crafted but requires care and technique in its use.
as2.0 is a Machete. Great for hacking things, but useless for anything requiring fine detail or control.
as1.0 is a plastic spoon.

My fav: “AS 1.0 is a plastic spoon” – but definitely not a spork.
How about:
AS 1.0 is a tricycle – you’d think that three wheels would make it stable but it still tips over very easily.
AS 2.0 is an old VW bug – It will get you where you need to be as long as you don’t mind the poor handling, very loud engine noise and don’t need to go very fast.
AS 3.0 is a Tesla Roadster – State of the art electric car that is fast and pretty.

AS 3.0 Is for code heads, and people with no life, and fu..ing wannabe Java coders with micropenises.
AS 2.0 Is for creative people with a mission, not willing to waste their time doing a job as difficult as possible.
