[FlexJS] Monkey patching support

[jude <fl...@gmail.com>]

Does FlexJS support monkey patching? I copied UIBase into my project, added
properties to it and then tried to build or compile (FlexJS (FalconJX Debug
and Release Build)) and I've been getting errors:

Good question.  It isn't quite the same as Flex.  For me, if I set:
   -define=COMPILE::AS3,true -define=COMPILE::JS,false
it compiles cleanly, so that would be the way for monkey-patching SWF code.

For JS code, it would be harder to do monkey-patching with the same
workflow, so instead you directly patch the .JS file and place it in the
right place in frameworks/js/FlexJS/libs.

HTH,
