I have a simple flash idea, I'm going to make it, do I use AS3 or AS2? Assuming I have no knowledge of either, want to do it quickly and I'm mediocre at programming.
If the project will never be touched again, AS2. Its not like you can't do bad programming that cuts corners in AS3 (which is what simple, fast and mediocre normally requires happening), but its a less forgiving environment for it.
If the code's ever going to be reused for something else, OOP at a minimum, but either version handles that. Only when runtime speed or when essential FP9+ features are required does AS3 become mandatory.
