Sup.

I’m moving on to my next massive programming project and I’m trying to decide whether I should code it in as 2.0 or 3.0. I came across the new click event model in 3.0. What do you guys think of it? Right now it’s looking like a pain in the butt to me. So now I have to make a function and add it as an event listener? what the hell? What’s the benefit? I understand stuff like this makes AS a more complete language but it’s kinda annoying.
