I think adding to the prototype would be the easiest way of recasting an

Unlike Flash, which if a compile fails during it, the swf is
unlaunchable, mtasc fails before it injects the code. You're not seeing

FLASC uses MTASC but it doesn't react to a failed build, possibly
because it doesn't know the compile
