    as2 was faster and had less features than as3, they say as2 is specially bad because it can not be on android/iphone but I saw you can run as2 on mobile browsers like dolphin browser/flashfox even extract the flash dll libflashplayer.so runtime from the app on your desktop and make use of it if you know what you are doing, but as3 has way more features that wont be needing 3rd party software to get done, anways as3 you can make your very own packaged software with icon and everything for android/iphone/desktops, even as2/as3 can control hardware motors/leds were just getting started.

    as3 air mobile packaging I was able to make 16 sales between ios/android in my first year, where I would get around 50 app downloads a week if I published it for free, even if I lost some as2 would never give me some sort of income/community to start dealing with.

    I almost feel terrible for shutting down my servers for my multiplayer users when I found out I couldn't pay the rent to be in the store another year.
