On a high level, we need an Application.as class that sets up the Starling application + display list. And an Application.js that creates a Canvas object on top of which the entire application would be drawn on. In Application.as, the Starling startup code from [2] needs to be set up. I got until this part and got distracted with SVG, etc. so gave up on that. Perhaps you can give this approach a try and see where it leads? Thanks, Om [1] https://github.com/apache/flex-asjs/blob/develop/frameworks/projects/JQuery/as/src/org/apache/flex/jquery/Application.as [2] http://wiki.starling-framework.org/manual/startup_code > > I am trying to see why you would even want to do this?
