Either way this is just getting my mind back into the compiler, even if it's a month's excerise into nothingness it will still be beneficial for me. The thing is, I look at what they are doing in TypeScript and I KNOW that can be done in about 2 months with the new JXEmitter. ;-) What I mean is, we get a builtin and htmllib, all the basic examples on their front page I know I could get compiling in an ActionScript project and working in the browser, I am 95% percent confident in this. So I'm saying I can see the beginning and end with that cross compile. :) What could be built from that code, hopefully a lot. It gives this project two definite paths for developers, I really think this is a good idea from Josh and now I am really seeing it's potential. > > > > >On that note; In the Randori emitter I used about 8 class compositions in > >the JS emitter whcih decoupled a huge amount of code.

I don't want to mess up anything you are working on right now with FlexJS, reference my previous 2 posts about this. :) Mike > > -Alex > >
