i'm definitely in. as3 and mxml to swf is a must, compile to js would be great for webapps, but I'd like to see this multitarget approach targeting other platforms too, expecially c\c++. if flash\air doesn't run in the platform my project is targeting i would be enabled to reuse my code and convert it to c\c++ code. i don't mean to create another portable vm, there have been other mail talking about this as an option but i don't think it would be a good way. my idea is to generate c\c++ code which can be "plugged" to different implementations of the base classes. at first we need to create headers of all the base classes belonging to playerglobal and airglobal, then anyone may implement those functions by himself and compile a native program for a non supported platform. it's something similar to what haxe already does, but the starting source code would be in as3\mxml.
