Actionscript isn't a server-side language. It runs in the browser. So they are seriously mistaken if they think they can replace Coldfusion with Flex/AS. (And I'd question if I really wanted to work for a company that didn't know this.) What about Flex/AS3? The more time I spent with it, the more I keep saying, "Whoa, this is a well-designed language/toolkit." Flex Builder, the editor, is also well-designed. You will struggle a bit to get over the learning curve, but if you appreciate elegance in UI, you'll grow to really like it. Actionscript is not my first choice in a programming language, but it is fully featured and plenty robust.
