Some things I would like:
1. Reflection capabilities like returning function name, function
paramater names, function paramater types, class names, etc
2. Method overloading (based on # of paramaters, and/or paramater type)
3. Profiling: Both cpu usage, and memory usage. Cpu usage can be
somewhat simulated in older flash (by logging each function call, and
time to complete), but there's no way to do memory profiling afaik
4. Better size reports: Show me the compiled size of each class
5. Only compile the classes I want it to compile: If A requires B and
B requires C, and I tell it to exclude B, it should exclude C (unless
some other class requires it of course). I should be able to exclude
packages from being compile. This is an important issue with
developing applications that use multiple swfs, and you don't want to
have wasted copies of the class in each file
