I'm not sure. ;-)<br>
<br>
I had looked at the beta and noticed a number of tag name changes and outright
drops. Opened a basic .rlo just for fun and while it opened there are obvious
gaps.<br>
<br>
I guess I'm just asking if the current public runtime and editor is considered
"mature". i.e. any further changes to them will be community based
and nothing created using them will be portable to 3.0 and beyond.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

inherently different. It is built on the Flex framework, which brings an awful
lot of out of the box power vis a vis developing the whole thing from scratch
in AS3.0. The interpreter is different, so the scripting language changes a
bit. Overall the application is very similar. I have built what’s there so far
using FlashDevelop, which I like a lot, and everything is now much more
object-oriented than before. This makes it a lot easier for the community to
contribute than it is currently, and also much easier for us to manage
contributions to the code base. As now, any contributions would be very welcome
– although the runtime engine is pretty good right now – it is the editor that
needs a lot of work. Certain editor considerations might mean looking again at
the .x3o file format which is why things are very much ‘for information’ right
now.</span><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Verdana","sans-serif"'><o:p></o:p></span></p>
