Flash CS3 migration: Still use AS2 publish settings bad?

[slopps]

[similar post in Flash CS3 forum but I thought the AS3 community might have some input]

Hey all,
My company is switching to Flash CS3. We do pretty basic interactivity...nothing ever requiring external classes. The designers I work with occasionally have to help me out with flash when we get too busy, but they aren't coders and therefore they don't want to use AS3 publish settings so that they can still have code on buttons, simple on(event) code, etc.

I want to argue that they should learn basic AS3 for the sake of posterity, but I can't come up with any really good reasons since the stuff we do is pretty basic.

Is it a bad idea to stick with AS2 publish settings?
Any input is greatly appreciated.

AS2 is fine. Sure it would be better to learn AS3 moving forward or for cases where you need to have projects make use of features that only exist in AS3, but there's nothing wrong with AS2 if it does what you need

I don't see it being a huge deal. It's there for just this case. If you ever have to re-visit any of your work though, code on buttons can be a maintainability nightmare. One point in your favor anyhow.
