This is the difference I see:
asjsc: -js-output-type=jsc
-external-library-path="$SCRIPT_HOME/../libs/js.swc"
mxmlc: -js-output-type=FLEXJS
-sdk-js-lib="$FLEX_HOME/frameworks/js/FlexJS/src"
So, -js-output-type=FLEXJS instead of jsc should do the trick of creating
the index.html file?

Here are the current use cases:
1. Convert AS3 (targeting HTML DOM) to JS -> use asjsc
2. Convert AS3 + MXML (targeting FlexJS) to JS + HTML > use mxmlc
The use case we need to add is
Convert AS3 (targeting HTML DOM) to JS + HTML
Something like asjshtmlc? In that case, shouldn't mxmlc be renamed to
mxmlcjshtmlc as well, for the sake of consistency?
Or am I overthinking this? What would you suggest?
