To tell you the truth, I have not understood much of the discussion regarding externs. I think I got the basic idea, but I’m not really sure.
Since I’m starting from scratch, I’m totally open to suggestions on how I should jump in. I’m just clueless as to how to start. Jumping into something new is always the hardest part for me… ;-) FYI, I expect to be devoting a large percentage of my time on targeting JS in the coming months, and I have a vested interest in the AS to JS approach. After my initial orientation and basic project setup, I think my first goal will be creating some classes to handle XML processing (similar to XML and XMList, but probably a bit more limited and more (modern) Javascript friendly. This is not really pressing for this week. I don’t have a hard deadline on when I need to be setup, but this project has been working its way up my priority list, and it’s currently pretty much at the top.
