Well I have spent the last hour reading over their docs, I love seeing high traffic projects. I would feel confident in exploring this avenue since the project seems huge now. I remember 2 years ago it wasn't so large.
I am pretty sure I can do what I need to once I figure out the tool chain. Seems to me, the hardest part is that middle layer where I have the AS API for the native extension and the Cordova plugin. From a distance it looks like I could use the same AS. So it really looks like the project I would have is figuring out actually how to write a Cordova app, then figure out how to write a plugin that calls my audio engine in a Cordova app. Once I get that working as an Android plugin, I will know how I have to translate a FlexJS code base to the Cordova plugin spec. I think I already looked at that code you wrote, need to check it again. So am I think correct here, eventually it looks like I will need to write a custom cross compiler emitter for a Cordova plugin correct? Then this would get hooked and run during the cross compile if the compiler args include it.
