__inline(); is the magical function you call from ActionScript to tell the compiler that the current method should be inlined wherever possible. And it works very well with FDT/FlexBuilder. Also the debugger is available. It is very nice to follow also the jumps etc. in the debugger.

Actually FDT works best with the compiler because they implemented a special feature called “Post-Compile ANT”. You may guess who was struggling to get that one in there, hehe. But an obfuscator is not planned for now.

I’m very excited about the AS3 inline compiler! I’m not sure how it will work, but it would be great if it was possible to use right inside of Flex Builder or similar. Also integrated with your preprocessor method :) I’m wondering if there is a good way to do inline functions as well, because it seems like you would have to make them macros which is a pain.

Related to your assembler, I was wondering if you plan to include some code obfuscation features eventually? For things like breaking decompiler output. I am working on a variable/class renaming obfuscator in Ruby, which I would like to open source when it is working.

BTW: enthusiASM wouldn’t be a bad name for the assembler :)
