the preview is the FINAL RELEASE of Actionscript 3.0

It will not be further updated.

Thats not entirely true. Its possible that there may be some minor additions to the language. For example, the 9.0.28.0 update introduced the ADDED_TO_STAGE and REMOVED_FROM_STAGE events for display objects. With the release of the next version of Flash, there may be other additions - that's not saying there *will* be, but its possible.

For the most part, however, what you have with the AS3 Preview is pretty much up to par with what ActionScript 3 is, at least in its current release state.

ok thanx but im working with classes here and im trying to use the addEventListener in a class created in the adobe flash 9 as3.0preview, but its not recognized in the class's actionscript environment. its only recognised in the .fla environment and not the class environment.

You're probably using it incorrectly.

AS3 still needs to having its improved tweening methods (c/o Robert Penner) added for the Flash 9 Final Release :)

but ... that would be updated as a class, not as a change to the way the code functions. I think?

Thats correct. Tweening classes are not a core part of the language. They are external classes just like any class you would make.

The current Flash 9 Alpha doesn't have these because... well, its in Alpha.
