Hi Gavin, I've developed scxml-js, a SCXML-to-ECMAScript compiler as a part of last year's Google Summer of Code. In addition to continuing to develop this compiler, I'm currently using it in my research on developing user interface with Statecharts. I've never worked with ActionScript before, but my understanding is that it is a superset of ECMAScript. Therefore, the ECMAScript code generated by scxml-js might also be compilable with an ActionScript compiler. Even if the generated code is not directly compilable, it might be easier to create an ActionScript backend for scxml-js based on the existing ECMAScript backend, rather than writing your own interpreter from scratch. You can find more information on scxml-js here: http://commons.apache.org/sandbox/gsoc/2010/scxml-js/
If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask. Thanks, Jake On 11-01-29 10:51 PM, Gavin Lei wrote: > Hi guys, > > I am a doctor student from China. My name is Gavin Lei.
