Hi David, I have been playing with a lot of HaXE, createjs, base html5 canvas and, of course, Flash these last months. Whatever you can do in AS3, you can do it with HaXE. And there are some additional benefits, but these are just developer bonuses. From what I can say, JS+HTML canvas execution performs really well under some circumstances: you need to accept the 10x assets file size you will be loading and that the overall performance can hit the CPU. And forget about the html5 canvas textfields ….. this feels like Flash 6. I hope I can show you my latest work before the end of the week (both in AS3 and JS) so you can compare.
