The only alternative I can think of is to port your code to haXe, which is very similar to AS3.
You can compile haXe code to AS3 (or directly to a .swf) and use that for the client side. For server side, you can compile haXe to run on Neko and write to files etc. In short - obviously depending on the libraries you are using - you can write your code once in haXe and compile to run on server and on client; and it's not that far from AS3.
