With the rewrite of my as3 to haxe translator in Java, i have also renamed the program ‘Haxer’. It just sounds a whole lot cooler. The current version of the code is up on git hub. Right now it only knows how to skip comments, detect and convert types correctly. I *think* i’ve managed to nail down the best way to do the type refactoring without having to loop over everything a bunch of times. So far the results look promising.

   Hi Atmospherian,

   I stumbled upon your project this morning, and I’m happy to see someone else has taken up the task of creating an as3 to haxe translator! The code looks so much cleaner than my Haskell attempt. I haven’t touched it in a long while and would probably rewrite it if I had the time. Maybe in Perl 6? Anyway, wish you the best of the luck with it. Having a good translator is a huge boon to the haXe community!

   Thanks Jason,

   I’d really like to try this out with a Flash/AS3 + PHP project that has got out of hand (i.e. much bigger than I expected). I need it to be much more scalable and easier to manage and haxe seems to be the answer.

   I tried downloading your source but the link seems to be broken.

   Do you have an alternate download location?

   cheers,
   Paul

   @Don-Duong: Thanks for inspiring me in the first place If i didn’t see your project i wouldn’t have thought about writing one myself.

   My code gets a bit closer to the ultimate goal, but is far from complete. I will post another update soon with my current issues in the hopes that someone can help with a solution.
