I'm a actionscript developer at my day job and I would totally take up this approach if I didn't have to deal with screen/stage coordinates all the time. You see, the backend of our project is in Coldfusion which has 1 based indexes for Array's and it has led to head-butting screen confusion when requesting the current index from the server. Then the visual side is always 1 based when showing data to the end-user, I'm always thinking I'm the problem in the middle. There have been numerous occasions where QA have called me to ask why the first slide in a slideshow is called "Slide 0"!
