Just to fix what I said previously ;-)<br><br>The slides were a bit outdated. Since EcmaScript 3.1 (Javascript++) killed EcmaScript4 (=ActionScript3) at Oslo summit ( <a href="http://ejohn.org/blog/ecmascript-harmony/">http://ejohn.org/blog/ecmascript-harmony/</a>, <a href="http://www.mikechambers.com/blog/2008/08/14/actionscript-3-and-ecmascript-4/">http://www.mikechambers.com/blog/2008/08/14/actionscript-3-and-ecmascript-4/</a> ), what I said about an unified Javascript 2 and ActionScript 3 is not really possible any more. Sorry for the mistake.<br>
<br>Anyway, feedbacks about OpenLayers AS3 port are still welcomed !<br>I would also be interested to know if you have began to think about an EcmaScript 3.1 version of OpenLayers.<br><br><div class="gmail_quote">On Tue, Dec 16, 2008 at 7:51 PM, Bouiaw <span dir="ltr"><<a href="mailto:bouiaw@gmail.com">bouiaw@gmail.com</a>></span> wrote:<br>

I will have a look to their zoom and pan code, it seems to be really fast !<br><br>I continue to be interested by an AS3 OpenLayers port, since it should be really great to keep most of the OpenLayers class architecture. A Javascript OpenLayers developer may be able to reuse his OpenLayers knowledge on the AS3 port. However, it is clear that some parts, tightly linked to the script technology used, will be different.<br>
<br>A key point in my interest for an AS3 OpenLayers is to anticipate a Javascript2 port that could run directly in future browsers like Firefox 4 (it may sounds a little silly, but I think it is not ;-).<br>You can see the great presentation Tamarin and ECMAScript4 here : <a href="http://www.slideshare.net/jeresig/tamarin-and-ecmascript-4/1" target="_blank">http://www.slideshare.net/jeresig/tamarin-and-ecmascript-4/1</a><br>
I think that ActionScript3, Javascript2 and ECMAScript4 are really close, and I am sure that from an AS3 OpenLayers, creating a Javascript 2 version will not be so complicated.<br><br>I think with a good software design, we will be able to keep separated pure AS3 code, and Adobe/Flash/Flex tainted code.<div>

</div>Have you looked at Modest Maps?<br>
