Read the Architecture section of that wiki page. It may not make a lot of sense right now, but a goal is for you to eventually understand it. I haven't worked with how Falcon was used for code-completion in Flash Builder, but you may not need to understand the AST portion of Falcon at all. I think all you really need to know about is the Workspace, FlexProject, CompilerProblems, Definitions, and InvisibleCompilationUnit. I haven't worked with InvisibleCompilationUnit, but I believe it is how you send a file of text to be compiled without actually saving it to a file. The compilation generates not just an AST, but also a set of CompilerProblems and Definitions. HTH, -Alex
