Michael Schmalle already created jasblocks, a Java port of his asblocks engine which is able to parse AS3. https://github.com/teotigraphix/as3-commons-jasblocks/ Since he's already created grammars for AS3, E4X, regex and ASDoc we might be able to stand on the shoulders of giants :) goldparser uses a different type of grammar notation, ANTLR uses EBNF and goldparser uses BNF. I am not familiar with the differences but I'm guessing it should be possible to convert between the two without too much hassle. After that its a matter of speed testing them. cheers, Roland
