View Full Version : SFS extentions only allow AS1? But I only know AS3!

Is this right, the only ActionScript the SmartFoxServer reads is AS1? And if this IS the case, I only know and use AS3, and I could PROBABLY suffer through AS2 transition, but I've tried playing with AS1 and it's so far different it's a huge aggrivation.

Has anybody else been in this position, or would anybody know a sufficient workaround to this issue?
And finally, if I've got no choice, I know Java is awfully similar to AS3. So as a last resort, does anybody know any good online resource to describe the main differences between java and AS3?

Thanks much!

java is a core language strongly typed while AS no matter what is a scripting language weakly typed. Java syntax is similar to AS,C,C#,C++,PHP and so on but as a core language it's harder to code since you need to know a lot more stuff to be able to create something that can run. It has also a lot more classes/libraries coming along and it's not that easy to go through all of that.

:D Alright, so in that respect... I would assume using AS1 for the extensions would be a better idea? And also, I'm still under the impression that you can only use AS1 on the extensions, which I'm not entirely sure about yet.

Does anybody have any ideas on this matter? Very much appreciated!
