Reasons why you should learn Actionscript 3

Actionscript 3 was officially released back in 2006 and was completed rewritten to incorporat the ECMA standard for language which is the same standard for JavaScript. This resulted in a huge change for the way the code is written. Many users have felt reluctance to shift to the new version of Actionscript, so I have compiled a list of reasons why you should learn Actionscript 3.0.

1.Faster - The new version of Actionscript 3.0 is faster than its predecessors with a 10 time increase in the performance. This means everything you build will be much faster and less time consuming.
2.New API - There is a new API which makes Actionscript 3.0 more powerful as it has contains hundreds of new API's. The structure of Actionscript has also been reorganised to make it easier to find particular features.

3.Object Oriented Structure - Actionscript 3.0 is now in a object oriented structure making it easier to transition from Java and C++. The Actionscript code will also be more modular and extendable which makes it easier to program.

4.Less Buggy - Actionscript 3.0 is less buggy and more enjoyable to work with. The majority of bug of Actionscript 2.0 have be eradicated in Actionscript 3.0.
