  If it's alright to ask.   ;Quote:Is C++ better than actionscript?Is a screwdriver better than a hammer?   ;  mine is   ;  They have different purposes. C++ is a full blown programming language, and a very  complex one at that. Actionscript is a scripting language used for scripting Macromedia Flash movies and applications.

I'm just saying its not the solution to everything. Action script can't be used for non-flash games, but seeing as this is a game development forum, I assume you are referring to making games.
