I need some advice. My experience using Flash is limited, but I am a capable programmer with a solid grounding in Java. I’d like to make a large scale game but I’m unsure whether I should use AS1 or AS2 (using classes). I’ve heard that using classes in flash is slower. Is this true?

I like the organization of AS2. Will it be a better route to take than AS1?
