1. Port the Flex framework to AS4 and the new runtime.
2. Compile MXML either to AS4 (and then compile it with the new Adobe compi=
ler) or, preferably, compile MXML directly to the new bytecode for the new =
runtime.

It wasn't... but thanks for the response... :)

Also after running a search I remembered someone (Jonathan Campos, and Nick=
 Kwiatkowski) did some work to port Flex to starling... based on their init=
ial investigation it seemed possible.

Question for Adobe... how would we compile it for as4?

Architecturally, would it make more sense to separate the compilers two dif=
ferent jobs?

Have mxmlc just generate AS3/4 and then invoke the appropriate adobe compil=
er on the generated ActionScript?
