I think this is mostly correct. Afaik, the swf (instead of as3) target was provided because the standard compiler (flash) was closed source. Nicolas Canasse, the Haxe language author, wrote an open source as3 compiler called mtasc, and then used his experience to make an optimized compiler for Haxe to swf.
- georgemcbay 14y agomtasc was an AS2 compiler, not an AS3 one. As of Flex3 (~2008) Adobe's AS3 compiler has been open source. (But haxe is still better than AS3, IMO).
- jdonaldson 14y agoYou're right, it was as2. I should've mentioned this was true "at the time"
