Nice article, good to know what to expect. YKR… I can understand why you can’t learn newer versions of AS I mean you can’t even spell RULES….After just reading Colin Moock’s 1000 page book on actionscipt 3 I am excited about 4 but I’m fine waiting a bit and adjusting more to 3 before the next transition.

I’m not aware of any plans to add any form of function overloading (except operators) in ECMAScript 4. Certainly, they could add it in future versions, though.

No, I realise that, I was just wondering if anyone knew about it being possible in te future, sorry if I went off-topic

Simoens, function overloading was not one of the features described in the overview.

Would it be possible to make overload constructors like you can do in programming languages as Java ?

Interesting, Lordy. It’s certainly possible that they will implement Vectors for Flash Player 10 if they’re going to have “typed Arrays”. However, I imagine they could implement it in a different way through the flash.* package if Vectors aren’t considered set in stone in the ECMAScript spec. We’ll just have to wait and see.
