As far as performance, I don't know how they compare, but that wouldn't be the point to writing such a port. The point is that many applications will not use Flex because targetting AVM limits their ability to be on tablets and mobile devices as a web application. Compiling to JavaScript would solve that while providing a more robust application framework with type safety to develop in. -omar --90e6ba211f1bac27ba04b82d7048--
