An Actionscript Compiler written in Actionscript

I have been writing an AS3 compiler written in AS3 itself. There is of course ESC at Mozilla, but I don't really know that it works (it probably does, and very well at that; I just don't know), but then what fun is that? I'd rather learn how to do it. And there is a lot to learn, including some fascinating under-documented features of actionscript bytecode and the swf file format: static initializers, the difference between a typed class property and a typed local register, where initial values of class properties are actually assigned. More on that eventually.

Hello World

So. I am finally going to do something with this page. I am going to write about ActionScript and panoramas etc.
