Contributing to AS to JS compiler (was: ASJS Publisher error)
I am actually trying to understand how to contribute to the efforts to
compile ActionScript to JS/HTML. I do have some experience with compilers
and the stuff so I hope I will be able to help.
Can you please give me some direction? I tried not to bother anyone and just
follow the instructions in the Wiki and READMEs but it looks like I need
someone to explain me the current state of the project so that I do not
spend time spinning the wheels.
The Wiki describes 3 different ways to compile Flex/AS to JS/HTML: the
FlexJS, AS to JS and FalconJx. Can you please tell which one is the current
and where should I focus?
Thanks,
Tigran.

Ah, yes, the ASJS Publisher. My bad... I never updated that. I moved the
functionality it provided into FalconJx, so building a project using that
should also provide you with a 'debug' and 'release' build.
So, the Publisher is obsolete, I'll remove it a.s.a.p.

Yes, you are correct. There are 2 compilers for AS -> JS
cross-compilation: FalconJS and FalconJx. Once we get the kinks out,
the FlexJS development will move from it's current compiler, FalconJS,
to the FalconJx compiler.

FalconJS is effectively in maintenance mode. I have a few fixes to make to
keep a "customer" happy, but all efforts are now on FalconJX.

Do I understand it correct that there are currently 2 separate projects for
AS to JS compilation (your, as the Wiki refers to "the Alex's FlexJS" way
and the FalconJx way) which you now try to merge to avoid fragmenting the
efforts?

We are currently trying to get FalconJX to compile MXML and AS to JS with
output that works with FlexJS. We might change code in FlexJS to make it
easier on FalconJX or vice-versa. FalconJX uses a lot of classes from
Falcon, and more care is needed in changing Falcon as Falcon has to compile
SWFs from MXML and AS.
