However the "For writing the code I'd definitely recommend something else" phrase is making me think. I also felt the same way looking for actionscript inside flash, it's definitely not a coding software, but a software for graphics. Is there a way to do the code with some open source (and better coding) software and "embedding the graphics" done with flash?
However, at this point I'm curious to understand what the hell does adobe flash player runs, if there are so many softwares for it that can be used in so many different ways. > >> So, coming back to my project, will haXe be able to make me create >> classes of the content of a website, taking it from xml (to parse) files >> with ajax.php calls? >> After that, I will need also to attach this structure and data to a >> nice-to-see graphics and animations, what about the "graphical" part of >> the IDEs you listed me? >> > > They don't have a graphical part.

This haxe looks good, but I'm sure it's not a base library of apache-php so I can't do a project with it at the time, neither I have a hosting with the control of the machine. It would be useful only at home. I know that a "hand" in the server-side would be useful, but I think I can handle this only with php, xml, parsing and actionscript hedackes. Is there somewere I can get started? p.s. I also hate actionscript's syntax.
