Many pundits have, for quite some time, insisted that web interfaces that allow a degree of personalisation or customisation out-perform those interfaces that present the same face to all visitors. Much of the research on this aspect of interfaces has centred around applications, rather than websites or applications delivered over the web.

New research suggests that, rather than being the “best of all worlds”, websites that allow customisation have the same measured usability as non-customised sites. Additionally, those sites that allow products customisation come up even worse in the usability stakes, thus possibility reinforcing the belief that “less really is more”.

This is a pdf to boost your morale and see how as3 is not that different from as2.

Worth a look through is also Kirupa’s ‘Tip of the day’, good to search through when you come up against problems with AS3:

I hope that’s enough to start.
