With the release of the Flex 3 SDK the ActionScript compiler (ASC) became open-source as well. As you know I am working on my own “compiler” to inline bytecode directly with ActionScript. My approach is a post-compile compiler because I wrote it while the ASC was still closed source and ther was no way to do that different.
I still like the approach but it is of course not the best way. The only logical consequence now is to write a patch for the ASC and add some new keywords to it. This would be also easier than what I have to do currently because I am working with bytecode only and the compiler is half a compiler and half a virtual machine. I think it would be great if a community starts to evolve around the SDK and builds a version with more advanced features. Nicolas?
