To cross-compile AS3, I don't see why you'd need to understand the AS3 parser, 
but you do have to understand the AS3 AST. Did you find the design of the AST 
to be confusing or under-documented? I thought there was sufficient 
documentation on the IASNode interfaces to make the purpose of each kind of 
node reasonably clear. Also, there is a toString() method on nodes which allows 
the Eclipse debugger to display ASTs, and you can dump them out with the 
-dump-ast=true option.

You two rock. 

'nuff said.
