Yes, the sentences you're quoting are not up-to-date. Here's current status for Flash compatibility : * all flash-specific classes are correctly and fully supported. Since haXe is a full OO model, there is no "toplevel functions" like in AS2, they have then been moved in the "flash.Lib" class as static methods (see http://haxe.org/api/flash/Lib). * for crossplatforms classes (Array, Xml, Date) there has been some minor adaptations to have them working the same on every platform. I encourage you to look at the documentation for Array (http://haxe.org/api/Array) and Xml (http://haxe.org/api/Xml) and you might see that it really looks familiar to the sinces you're used to. I would say for comparison that there is less changes between AS2 and haXe than between AS2 and AS3.
