It was also leaking memory, which made it very unsuitable for anything long running (like long-running screen displays, ask me how I know).

This is a misconception. AS3 actually had great garbage collection, and solidly written AS3 code did not leak.

Flex player leaked memory like a sieve. After one day or so it would hang the computer. Maybe it was wrongly written, but leak it did. I have experienced it first hand.

Maybe it was the standalone flex player instead of the web Flash player?
