Mike, I try to talk about FalconJx, as I believe you call your "version" of the AS -> JS compiler when I talk about your work. I refer to FlexJS when I talk about the project to allow the user to write in an AS based framework (either based on Alex's approach or a new one, based on my experiences setting this up).
Am I correct in assuming that the FalconJx compiler will take any AS files and translate it to JS using the rules we're working on in the Wiki? I mean, I can build a framework in AS (like Alex's, or maybe even use Flex itself) and build a complimentary framework in JS (like Alex did) and as long as the functionalities of these frameworks match, the user code can be put through FalconJx and the output should run, correct? How about MXML?
