"Professional haXe and Neko"

When compiling to Flash, haXe produces the same SWF output and provides all of the same
features as the official Flash compilers produced by Adobe, though of course, certain functions within
the haXe library may not be supported depending on which version of Flash you are compiling against.
You can handle this using compiler directives that allow different portions of code to be compiled
depending on the target technology.
For those of you who are used to the MTASC compiler by Nicolas Cannasse for ActionScript versions 8
and below, haXe steps in as the successor, reducing further development of the MTASC compiler to bug
fixes only.
When MTASC (Motion - Twin ActionScript Compiler) was released several years ago, many developers
saw, for the first time, their first break into the world of Flash. Previously, many developers would
complain that the Flash IDE was far too geared toward the designer and left little leverage for the
developer. MTASC changed all of that by offering an all - code entry point using tools they were already
familiar with.
