If considering a move to a new language and platform, shouldn't 
preference be given to something open source?

How about HaXe? It has compile support for all the current Flash/AIR 
targets, and then some, including Flash (AVM2), JavaScript and 
C/C++/Native mobile apps through NME (an open source Flash display list 
like runtime, they are adding stage3d too) and a few others.

Why tie an Apache open source project written from the ground up to a 
proprietary language and runtime?
