I think to be clear, there are really three parts: Falcon, FalconJX and the various frameworks (of which FlexJS is one). Falcon takes MXML/AS3 and creates a nice AST. FalconJX traverses that tree and creates... whatever (mostly Google Closure compatible JS right now). The framework(s), like FlexJS, use the Falcons (by way of FalconJX) to get from A to B.
