Not really, while Netscape was still driving the Mozilla browser
development there was active work on ECMAScript edition 4 to be the
specification on which JavaScript 2.0 is based. But then Netscape
stopped the browser development and the guy working on the formal
specification of ECMAScript 4 and JavaScript was one of the many laid
off. And Microsoft had other plans for instance, instead of waiting for
ECMAScript edition 4 to become a specification they implemented
JScript.NET as the .NET based successor to the classic, COM based JScript.
As far as I understand from blogs and published slides work on
ECMAScript edition 4 has been resumed quite some time back and the aim
is to finish and publish the specification in 2007.
See <http://developer.mozilla.org/presentations/xtech2006/javascript/>
for further details, it even says
"JS2 based on ES4 in Q2 2007"

But even if Mozilla implements JavaScript 2 based on ECMAScript edition
4 in 2007 it remains to be seen whether and when other browsers
implement ECMAScript edition 4, at least if you hope to use JavaScript 2
on the web.

removed some features of Actionscript 2.0 (like private constructors)
specifically because that functionality is not allowed in the ECMAScript
Edition 4 specifications (at the time of this posting anyway).

Actionscript 1.0 and 2.0 were loosely based on the ECMAScript
specifications.
