Hi Sam, are you aware of the fact that the AS3 compiler is in the process of being opened up? I'm all for experimenting with/bringing to market/open sourcing toolchains that can create abc bytecode or complete swf's from other languages, but if your goal is to enhance AS3, you should maybe wait for mxmlc to be released: http://labs.adobe.com/wiki/index.php/Flex:Open_Source
And as Robin noted, there already are compilers for other languages like C# and Haxe. Also note that the collaboration between Adobe and the Mozilla Foundation looks pretty interesting: http://weblogs.mozillazine.org/roadmap/archives/2007/07/new_projects.html cheers, till On 9/11/07, Samuel Agesilas <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Another gripe I have is with the developer tools that we get from > Adobe.
