I looked into this. It might be a bug in GCC. The export symbol code
overwrites the Example.run when it create Example. IMO, it should check
for existence, or export in a different order.
FlexJS works because it doesn’t rely on a static entry point. The
following works for me:
package
{
public class Example
{
public function run():void
{
trace("hello world");
}
}
}
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<script src="Example.js"></script>
</head>
<body>
<script>
new Example().run();
</script>
</body>
</html>
