Okay, I figured out how to make VSCode switch to JS APIs instead of SWF
APIs for completion and things. In the next version of the extension, when
the targets compiler option is specified in asconfig.json, and the first
value isn't "SWF", the extension will offer JS APIs. That includes giving
you access to native browser APIs instead of Flash Player APIs. That's
going to be a really nice change, I think. Thanks for pointing out this
issue!
