TypingUses weak typing, allowing for more flexibility but less type safety.Uses strong typing (in later versions), providing better type safety.
PerformanceGenerally faster for desktop applications due to direct access to Windows APIs.Performance can vary based on the Flash Player or AIR runtime, generally slower for complex applications.
Libraries and frameworksLimited to older libraries and frameworks, primarily for Windows applications.Has a variety of libraries and frameworks, especially for web and multimedia applications.
Community and supportHas a smaller, dwindling community as it is considered outdated.Has a larger community, especially among web developers, but has declined since the end of Flash.
Learning curveGenerally considered easier to learn for beginners, especially for simple applications.May have a steeper learning curve due to its object-oriented features and complexity.
