Since the first announcement of Falcon's cross compilation feature Falcon JS, I've been following the blog posts and discussions around cross-compilation of ActionScript to JavaScript. How much interest is there in the Flex community to have JavaScript generation as a future feature in Flex?
Since Adobe has been working on Falcon JS, it would make sense to improve whatever code the company contributes to Apache, and continue from there to build a solid JavaScript cross-compiler. Bernd Paradies has posted some information in his blog about the cross-compilation effort http://blogs.adobe.com/bparadie/, in case you haven't seen that. Does anyone know more about the status of Falcon JS, and how far Adobe is planning to implement the cross-compilation feature? Based on the videos from Flex Summit it's just an experimental feature, and there are no plans to release Falcon JS as a finished product. So maybe that's a good opportunity for the community to help Adobe improve the product. I'd be interested in supporting such an effort, although I won't have more than 5-6 hours per week available for it. - Raju
