How many of you guys have fully converted, im currently doing more and more as3 work and you know what im kinda starting to prefer it…esp when it comes to using xml
. what are your thoughts?
AS3 is AWESOME , period.
There is no if’s or buts, as soon as you’ve started using it you will NEVER want to code in AS2 again.
I used to use AS2 but having a Java/VB background I love the logic and structure to AS3 , not to mention the management of events, all of which AS2 severely lacked…
And then theres Papervision3D…
AS3 wins 
I am over to as3 and i recomend it to everyone, it is so much better, faster and reusable + you can do more with it (like full papervision, box2d physics, audio spectrum)
And if you look here: http://www.adobe.com/products/player_census/flashplayer/version_penetration.html
around 98% of the world has player 9 
I completely abandon AS2 and focus on AS3 more because I need to renew my pro Adobe certified AS3 .
The migrate is not an easy process and it take time to learn it in a good way ,more to say with CS4 coming AS2 will be history in 2-3 years .
AS3 open lots of doors for new application that AS2 is stammering.
But still I think 4-5 years from now you will still see lots of designers using AS2 .
You cant dance and run after Adobe every time they change there tec` we are unman not machines.(:
