same thing is going on in this case: I mean what are the "new features " that could not have been accomplished by adding some new functions and or some new commands?? realy now? - could not a "whole lot more " functionality be added if they did not "overhall" the entire code?
it's mearly "syntax" no need to re-invent the wheel.
waste of time -
and now instead of catapulting flash - many very talented "flash developers" have to learn the syntax all over again.. - progression is delayed.

Also: someone up there needs to think before we keep demanding that users upgrade the plug-in.. The web users are going to get sick and tired of updating the flash player every 4 months.. esp : when it's being packed with "spyware" but that's another topic.Anyone that's done any DOM scripting knows that a tool bar is nothing but a hijacker and spytool. these people are going to kill flash.
And I'll bet ANYTHING - that this new player is full of bugs - thanks to the new syntax.. so your looking at making your users download about 2-3 more times this year. so that 80% is pretty much out the window.. I'll make a bet on that.
