| The FAQ says there will be 2 compilers released as open source.. so does this mean it is possible?
- Source code from the ActionScript Virtual Machine (AVM2) as currently shipping in Adobe Flash Player 9, including the Just In Time (JIT) runtime compiler and conservative garbage collector.
- A partial implementation of a prototype compiler written in ActionScript, which will be developed by the open source community to implement all of the ECMAScript 4th edition specification. This will be a "self-hosted" compiler that is written in the language it compiles.

No. The release does not include a compiler as far as I can tell, just the virtual machine to run pre-compiled bytecode.
Tis true. Though obviously, before Mozilla releases a product around this they will have to release a compiler for it to work in firefox. So the ultimate result of this would, I presume, be a compiler and an AVM, though the full component set has not been announced/released today.
