Potential security risk
This scares me. Java (*NOT* Javascript) was built from the ground up with a sandbox designed in. Yet there are still a few rare security problems. Livescript was the original name for what is now "Javascript"; this causes a lot of confusion. The original Livescript had so few features that its designers felt that no need for a sandbox. Now that big corporations want sing/dancing webpages, Javascript is slowly being given more and more "features". I'm scared that "Actionscript" will be a great big security hole, the Firefox equivalent of ActiveX.
