One question straight away after looking at your source code
implementation.
Why did you have to implement custom display list for AS3 itself?
Do you mean JooFlash? Well, Adobe still did not open-source the Flash
runtime, so we had to re-implement it. I wrote a tool that "screen-scraped"
the whole FlashPlayer 11 API from the HTML ASDoc and reverse-engineers it
into AS3 code -- of course API-only, and started to fill the gaps. As you
can see, it suffices for several games, Box2D and Open Flash Charts, but
not yet for Flex.
Was my assumption correct? That you were trying to bridge a gaps? If so,
how much effort it would be to do the same with mxml?
Actually, I am currently working on MXML support for the Jangaroo
compiler. Another case of redoing Adobe's work! ;-)
But really, until now, we did not dare to dig into the Flex compiler code,
and what I read in this mailing list is not very encouraging, too.
Thus, so far, we kept our own compiler, which is much more light-weight and
controllable (at least for us), but of course lacks some important features
and is still not 100% compatible with mxmlc. However, we were able to take
quite complex AS3 projects and recompile them without changing a single
line of code, e.g. Open Flash
Charts<http://jangaron.net/ofc3/data-files/joo.html>
.
More about this in my upcoming answer to Michael.
