I'm actually moving to Java now as I plan on making a game for Steam :) Java is bigger and faster than AS3 on the desktop (Adobe Air). Also, AS3 is slowly dying since it never won over devs on mobile while Java is one of the most used programming languages on Andriod which has the largest mobile OS share. Java has a lot of potential in gaming, just not on the web (which is becoming less relevant because of apps anyway).
Positions filled. If you're still interested in working with me in the future then feel free add me on Skype or drop an email.

You'll get better :) AS3 is also easier to develop in than Java and pure OpenGL (which I wouldn't even consider for small projects).
