I'll leave this to Thibault to answer. I think that so far we have disclose=
d details of AS4 to only a limited number of developers who are under a non=
-disclosure agreement.

Alex, Gordon,

when we could get more info about AS4? I think this new version of the lang=
uage and the new version of the AVM implies lots of things and I think the =
community needs clear unknowns sooner.

For me a new AVM and language is the place where I would like to see lots o=
f things that for me are the next evolution of what we have now in terms of=
 platform and language coding. Things that apply to Flash as a platform for=
 gamming but that could be leveraged by Flex as well in a possible new rewr=
ite to support this new evolution.

I'm talking about  Generics, Metadata evolution, Enum, support for better d=
ependency injection and AOP, to expose only a few... things that developers=
 (in whatever discipline that you would think: gamming, app dev, ...) are d=
emanding.

Hope we could have access to what is coming sooner to see what Adobe is pre=
paring and their vision of how the platform must evolve in the next years.

Thanks

Carlos
