I didn't follow the whole discussion. Is the issue that you were
planning to work on MXML->JS but Alex and I think
MXML->datastructure is a better approach? You don't have to accept
what we say. :)
- Gordon
The conversation was about exploring a straight AST to JS convertor
and bypassing the JS emitting using SWF reducer.
My point was in the discussion that I don't know SWF format and JBurg
so trying to maintain FalconJS in it's current state would be hard for
a lot of developers.
A lot of cross compilers just work with the straight AST in our case
the IASNode or IDefinition frameworks.
I also thought having this ability would allow other targets to be
implemented more quickly IE Java android or something...
What do you think?

Well considering the conversation between you two, I will ditch
pretty much all I said in the last 3 days. This is what I get for
living on a mountain...
I have interest in the non-flash player stuff, so I guess I will
keep up with your conversations.
For now, I will focus on testing the compiler and trying to get in a
groove somehow dealing with that. I'm going to try and document more
of the compiler on the wiki. Gordon feel free the correct me if I'm
wrong in places.
And, I will try to really understand Alex's prototype and see if I
can get my brain wrapped around that to help with some simple test
components.

That sounds fine. We'll work in parallel:
Me: MXML->ABC
You: MXML->datastructure, first for use in AS/ABC, then for use in JS

MXML->datastructure is a good idea. Alex will do it first for
MXML->interpretation
by JS and later for interpretation by an ABC library written in AS.
I'm pretty sure I had this all working last year in AS. I just have
to dust it off. Right now it is easier/faster for me to debug in AS,
so I will probably do the AS version first, but I will be keeping all
of the old ABC code paths around. Right now there is some global flag
that determines which code paths to go down. I might tie that to some
new property in flex-config.xml or something like that.
