Both languages are essentially ECMAScript, but ActionScript (3) is static and JavaScript is dynamic. Java is faster than ruby/python etc and ActionScript is faster than JavaScript.

No matter which side of the debate you're on, I think we can agree giving a child nine vaccines at once is probably not the best idea. We've spread out my sons vaccines so he receives all the recommended ones but a few weeks apart.
