I’m not expecting it to be any better on the JS side. So, depending on how much XML manipulation your app does, it might pay to convert the XML to data classes before manipulation and convert back on the way to the server, or have a proxy do some of the work for you. > >> >>> 2) I’d like to port the view into ActionScript which would compile to >>> Easel.js-compatible Javascript.
