wow just imagine only having MovieClips ;) i even remember not having functions in actionscript...
as i mentioned before you can automate the process of making the extern/interface for whatever widget you like using macros. the Jquery type thing is an interesting point though really, it's a massive step up from the crazy heap of typeless spaghetti that is normal JS coding, but you are right it feels a little weird. you still have all the vanilla haxeJS DOM stuff though, so you have typedefs for Select, Option, Button, Checkbox, etc. etc. etc. etc. which pop up in the autocompletion and are very handy if you don't have encyclopedic knowledge of the DOM.
