I tried everything but failed… except for this… I have Vista.

if you get the ‘failed (consult log) message, run the AIR installer to install it, then use the command prompt to uninstall it. Worked for me.

I think adobe should keep in mind that flash should be very simple to use by the designer and developer and while releasing new version of ActionScript they should consider both designer and programmer. I found vast difference between AS2 and AS3 and i hope on the new release it won’t be too vast difference in structure so that it can be adopted easily.

Today I finally unistalled FLASH completely as YouTube switched to HTML5. Guess what? no more skippy loading, freezing browser, crashing explorer, hickups, lockups, stutter, whatever on a 3ghz dualcore(!) BUT quick loading, scrubbing and lightning fast browser rendering. I make three XXX that the days of Flash crap everywhere are pretty much over. I’m pretty confident Vimeo and YT players will soon catch up missing features like fullscreen override and stuff.
Actionscript 3 never was a serious programming language at all, the debugger is pretty much a joke. And the whole Flash VM a resource hog with bugs bad enough to completely lock up a fast machine, even with the 64-bit binaries. In it’s current state FLASH is slow, unstable or to sum as unusable as obsolete.

AS3 destroys AS2, and as dudoo said, it is entirely different.. that is because AS3 is a real coding language. You can basically do anything in AS3, that you could do with any other major language like C. Not only that, but if you were to leave AS3 to take on another language, it would be just the issue of learning the libraries of the other language, rather than learning how to code all over. AS2 was never meant to be able to contend with any real language, whereas AS3 is. AS4 will probably have a few changes and some extra syntax, but in the end it will probably just be more powerful.

A month?

Huh, try off and on for a year as I have to keep rent paid.

Going from AS2 to AS3 is like going from French to Japanese.

Speaking of characters, I’ve got one word for you…

…Text.

a dozen lines of code later I finally have the word text on the screen in the right place with the right font, size….God, what havoc.

Thank God for Colin Moock’s video series by O’Reilly. I think just about every intro book to AS3 sucks unless you were born programming. They do so much line by line forgetting about library importing etc. that is required ASSUMING you know what to do. Bull, there’s just too many asterisks in learning AS3. I coded my new site in AS3 and hardly new what the hell I was doing. Now I get it…kinda. I’m still working through instanciation issues involving dynamically loaded rollover yadda.

The great thing with the new AS3 structure I’m learning is that you can build a class for virtually anything and never have to code it again. It’s plug and play. Like that text thing. I can build a text formatting class that will handle all that redundant crap so I don’t have to. Heck, it’s probably already out on the web somewhere.

I’m a film major so to me that’s key as I don’t care to spend all day typiig to build a stupid hangman game. I want “Flashy” results now. That’s why I’m learning After Effects. Even if I can save my career as a Flash guy, I’m not sure I really care anymore.

While AS3 might be cool to programmers is still sucks as a graphics tool. Hopefully AS4’s compiler can remedy that a bit.
