Wow, I've used Flash pretty extensively, and you can't really do
asteroids without using Actionscript, unless CS3 has a an asteroids
game builtin or something.  You're still handling mouse/keyboard
events, etc.  That's more than you do with VB most of the time.  If
all you were expecting was VB stuff, then Flash is almost as much, and
I'd count it!
