I support it, and I agree that it is a step forward, and I also don't think

Hey Carlos,
The "unknown configuration variable" error was actually a bug in asconfigc.
It was still trying to build a SWF. I guess I didn't test that path well
enough, since I don't use the FlexJS components. Update asconfigc, and it
should work now. Sorry about that!

I want to add a small feature that is meant to help developers with a real

something I've run into myself, as you could see from the Starling examples
I included in my original post. I'm baffled that anyone would say that an

My 2 cents:
Haxe as a language already has features like this (and many more) as well
as being very mature, and not too distant from actionscript.
I see the 'import as' feature as definitely helpful (I would use it for
sure), but I feel that if you tried to make actionscript too much like Haxe

Fine with me.
I would prefer that the basic component set of FlexJS not use this

Hi guys,

Hi Chris,
I'm an IntelliJ IDEA advocate as you as well for Flex SDK and Java, but
AFAIK for FlexJS 0.7.0, debug does not work (-source-map feature) as Josh

I'm in the process to check Visual Studio Code with Josh plugin.
Without debug, I think IDEA is not of much help.
