AS3 has type hinting (declaration with :Type). Is it true that this is the reason for the faster application built with it and will the apps become slower if I do not use it?

Is there a way to make abstract class in AS3 or declare an attribute in interface?

Hi,

I have a small question to you, that you said AS3 is OOP’s. Then it should have the overriding of Constructor concept?

[ The bulletproof version looks like this:

output.text+=!(p is Function)?"no luck":p(6); ]

The code is NOT bulletproof. It will crush if objects have the method with the same name but different signature. With interfaces you will catch the problem at compile time.

[ Now raise your hand if you are a Java programmer and after reading this article you are thinking to yourself, “Hmm, may be ActionScript 3 is not too bad and I should take a look at it ?” ]

If you are a Java programmer that works with visual interfaces, you’d better hurry and start programming in Flex. All your programs will still be compatible with Java EE archtectures through Flex Data Services.
