Hopefully your're right. I think this is a key point that Adobe
shouldn't wait to disclose. Because at this point is something that

I do understand that. Currently this is not a problem, but as AS3/FP9 move
forward on their own inevitable path, will SWHX play catchup or will it
concentrate on its own thing? I suspect the latter.

It's not simply about marketing or branding. It's about accountability.

I hope you're not giving up because you think you have to use haXe for
