AS2 Devs, what's your hesitation with AS3?

As someone new to this site (i have my fist submission in queue now) I have noticed there seems to be a LOT of submissions built in AS2 . I’m wondering what your reasons are for not switching to AS3 ? Are you trying to target buyers running older version of Flash? Or do you find AS3 ‘too difficult’. Just curious!

penetration for FP9 is almost identical to FP8 now:

Market is still occupied by AS2 around 75%.

So, to increase up my sales I am coding same file both in AS2 and AS3 .

AS3 in no way seems similar to AS2 , it takes more effort than AS2 and increases the coding in such a way that a 10KB swf file becomes 12KB.

If I submit them together then I am doing double work for a single benefit because price cannot be doubled from $10 to $20. Also, if a buyer asks me a question then I will have to reply him for both and if it was a simple request then again, I will have to do it in both.

Now, should I upload two versions separately to get more sales, better price and separate support? Please anyone from staff suggest, as I am just going to put my next upload.

I felt the same way when I first started to work with AS3 . Now whenever I work with AS2 I get a pounding headache

You did not comment on the full line.

By effort, I did not mean that AS3 is too difficult for me. I meant about the time taken. Obviously, you have to put more time into it when code increases by 2 KB on 10KB.

Edit: My only question here is that… should I submit two files separately or upload them together in one file. Because I am waiting for an upload.

Sorry dude, I didn’t mean to imply this.

I reuse a lot of classes with AS3 . I find this saves me a lot of time compared to working with non-class based AS2 .

No, I am sorry. I just woke up and messed it up.

You are 100% right.

I am back to work again. Thanks for sharing your views. I will check back later. Good day my friend.

I do my components in AS3 & sell very good. (Not this site)

What that means?
