Actionscript 3

Hi!

I did a search but didn’t find anything about this and it’s not a specific question so therefore I posted it in the random thread.

Got some questions about Actionscript 3. Well main thing is - is this something new that I have missed? Flash 9? Or have I missed some info. Saw Adobe/Macromedia’s site and it mention Actionscript 3 with a program called Flexbuilder (or something like that). Is it the new name for Flash under Adobes management?

Haven’t got the program and resantly bought Flash 8 so was that a unnessasery buy?

I came across this cos I saw that Lynda.com has some videocurses on Actionscript 3.

Hope someone got some answers to my questions.
