I recently had reason to attempt to convert a few old ActionScript 2 classes to ActionScript 3. I stumbled across Patrick Mineault’s post about his AS2 to AS3 converter and decided to give it a whirl. It worked better than I had expected actually. I ran my code through the converter, spent about 10 minutes fixing a few small details that it didn’t catch and I was up and running–nice! It is certainly not a completely full proof converter but is nonetheless a great time saver. Unfortunately, Patrick is now “retired” so I doubt we will see any future updates, but it’s a great place to start.
