[FlexJS] airglobal.swc runtime inside JS build

Hi there, 

I was wondering how I can either convert the adobe air runtime library
(airglobal.swc) to JS or if existing JS files exist? My project relies on
certain classes provided by airglobal.swc and I was wondering if it was
possible to use these in the Browser? 

Currently I have managed to compile my application with no errors by added
airglobal.swc as an external dependency however this doesn't provide the
classes as JS files. So upon loading my page I get an "Uncaught
ReferenceError: flash is not defined" error. 

Is it possible to transpile or even use the airglobal.swc classes in the
browser? or is this just wishful thinking on my part? 

Best Regards, 
Almir Kadric

Emulating the Flash Player or AIR in the browser is a hard problem.  There
are various efforts with various degrees of success.

What we are doing with FlexJS is not emulating the runtime.  Instead we
are encapsulating common patterns.  IMO this is a much easier but still
very challenging problem.
