Recently, Colin Moock, author of Essential ActionScript 3.0 and a well-respected leader in the Flash community, presented The Charges Against ActionScript 3.0. A few of the problems he describes apply to everyone who targets Flash Player, such as the difficulty even hardcore developers seem to face when dealing with the garbage collector.
