That's not strictly speaking true. AS3 supports the Vector class after all, which is a generic class. It understands instantiating an instance of a generic class. However the language doesn't (yet) have the syntax to support defining generic classes and - even if it did - the mxmlc compiler is hard-coded to only handle generics via the Vector class. The AVM2 definitely supports generics, which is why haXe can use generics to target SWFs. David.
