[Papervision3D] Impact of F10 API on PV3D

[morten.legarth at jwt.com]

That is a quite bold statement. Advertisement agencies aren't stupid. AS3 
development has alot of advantages to AS2 especially in terms of 
development speed, collaboration and reusable code, things that greatly 
increase profitablity of flash projects. Furthermore most of the good 
libraries are written exclusively in AS3 now. These advantages more than 
outweigh the sligtly smaller penetrationrate of player 9. Also penetration 
isn't _that_ big of an issue when duing microsites in flash cuz it is 
relatively painless for the user to upgrade. It is a bigger issue with 
banner ad's where most media agencies indeed still prefer flash player 7.

Anyways... calling it AS4 would be a colossal mistake. It would create 
great confusion, and the aditions we have seen just now are rather 
insignificant compared to the diffrence between AS2 and AS3.

I think you can be sure they won't be jumping to Java, the decision was to 
create AS3 or just leverage Java and AS3 won so i doubt they'll be moving 
back on that decision now.
 
Like Neil says, it'll just be incremental additions to the AS3 API that 
target particular versions of the player.... 
 
but advertising agencies will still want to target player 7, i guarantee 
it!

They added extra classes to AS2 all the way to flash 8, and some just
wouldn't compile to the player that the new functions/libraries were not
compatible with, most notably the components libraries and the remoting
classes.

I would assume therefore as, unless they completely change the language
(or add compatibility for other languages, in the same way as .NET has
multiple routes to MSIL), they wouldn't move to AS v4.

Going by their previous record I'd say we weren't due a major language
update until 2012 at least. And maybe then they will just jump into bed
with Java (wonders never cease).

me too, will they just make AS3/v10 option in publish settings, or
will they slap brand new AS4 label on it?
