Haxe is great, but It doesn't compile to Actionscript 3 (correctly).

[Daniel Ribeiro]

Haxe is an amazing language. I am utterly flabbergasted by the awesome work that Nicolas Cannasse and other have put into it. It is unfortunate though that its as3 (as a source language) target doesn't work. I've assembled 7 bugs that I've found while using it for the past week on Github, specifically here.

It would be awesome if as3 was supported, as It would allows us to use all the great runtime tools at our disposal nowadays (specially runtime debugging in production).

Cheers,

I can honestly say I've never really seen people using the as3 target of haxe. Mainly because we can simply target swf and produce a .swc to be used from as3.

I think at least some of the bugs you reported are consequences of changes in the SVN version. You can try compile with the last stable release and see if you have more success.

on the trunk.

Hi,

AS3 is not a priority target, but I usually fix bugs when I find some.
Could you report the one you found on http://code.google.com/p/haxe/issues ?

Thanks,
Nicolas

[Daniel Ribeiro]

Sure. I've resubmitted on google code: http://code.google.com/p/haxe/issues/detail?id=666&colspec=ID%20Status%20Priority%20Platform%20Owner%20Summary

Thanks,
- Daniel
