Adobe released Flex 2 Beta 2 today. I have been building prototype applications in Flex 2.0 / ActionScript 3.0 this past few months and the new API’s in ActionScript 3.0 are simply amazing. There is a slight learning curve as most of the core AS 2.0 classes have been repackaged and many are now considered legacy classes or deprecated. But this is a step in the right direction as AS 3 now implements the ECMA-262 specification bringing it in compliance with a well established industry standard, similar to C# and Java.
