This makes the article somewhat silly because the demand shifted over to JS, HTML5, Canvas, etc., and because ActionScript is in the same family as Javascript, people are already halfway there. It was very evolutionary.

To be polite, the article shows how little they understand the topic they are writing about.

Same here, I switched from ActionScript to JavaScript fairly easily, and now almost 10 years later I'm well rounded in both front-end and back-end.

thank you. The article is really silly because it fails to understand that Flash was not one-of-a-kind work assignment on a computer, whereas it was just a tool to do web animation. It is not like web animation has become obsolete.
