I should know this but there are so many moving parts so help me understand
this. The ByteArray class looks like ActionScript but is creating and
referencing JavaScript objects.

I'm guessing this is FalconJX wizardry?

With Radii 8 I have an exporter that is in generating HTML from the visual
Flex component tree which is created at runtime. It exports HTML markup,
CSS inside a style block (or separately as a CSS file) and places that
markup and those styles inside an HTML template or file of your choice. I'm
doing nothing with JavaScript code tho and don't really want to.

But I would like to be able to take ActionScript like this and connect it
somehow.

FYI the way I keep things organized is to give every exported HTML element
a unique id on export if it doesn't have one already.

If I already have an HTML web page with all the elements already created
with known ids, how would I go from an ActionScript file like this to
JavaScript that could talk to those elements?

We might have gone over this already but my guess is it's something like
this:

1. download the installer
2. download flex sdk (has falcon?)
3. open fb and create an ActionScript project
4. create an ActionScript class
5. include a HTML.swc
6. use a specific ant target to compile that class into JavaScript
7. add a script reference the
to the exported js file in the html page

does that look right? because it looks like these classes are doing that.

ok, hear me out on this, is it possible that we could give Falcon jx an
HTML page (or php, etc) that had ActionScript in it, and have that
converted to JavaScript? Let's say the AS3 is all inside a script block for
simplicity.

for example,

var button:HTMLElement = document.getElementById("myButton");
button.label = "test";

I ask because for some HTML developers they may see the advantage of
strongly typed JavaScript. Falcon JX may offer that to them for sites and
projects they've already created using mixed tool sets and frameworks.
